A national committee has been set up by the government to coordinate the Stallions’ participation in the 2023 African Cup of Nations in Côte d’Ivoire, which kicks off on 13 January and runs until 11 February 2024. The committee also gave details of the transport arrangements for the Stallions and their supporters.

The national committee is working in collaboration with the ministry in charge of sports and other private initiatives to improve organisation.

Nine committees have also been set up to help mobilise resources.

These include the technical secretariat, the finance commission, the material, transport and accommodation commission, the fan mobilisation commission, the health commission, the financial resources mobilisation commission, the press and communication commission, the Burkina showcase commission and the security commission.
