Information
CountryBurkina Faso

The Burkina Faso national baseball team, The Upright Men,[1] is a baseball team which represents Burkina Faso in international baseball competitions.

Baseball was introduced in Burkina Faso in the late 1990s.[2] In 2016, a group of ten players from the national team went to Japan to train.[3]

Seventeen national baseball teams in Africa were divided into four zones for the 2020 Olympics qualifiers, and Burkina Faso competed in Zone West 1 against Team Ghana, Team Nigeria, Tunisia, and Cote d’Ivoire.[4] In April 2019 at the first African West One pre-qualifier for the 2020 Olympics the team defeated Team Nigeria (13-3) and Team Ghana (14-4).[1][5][6][7] It lost in the semi-final in May to Team South Africa 16-1.[8][5][9]
