SAN JOSE, Calif. - The San Jose Earthquakes announced today that forward Ousseni Bouda will represent the Burkina Faso Men's National Team in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.

Bouda, 25, will join Les Etalons in Morocco for Group E matches against Equatorial Guinea (Dec. 24), Algeria (Dec. 28) and Sudan (Dec. 31). The first and third group stage games will take place at Mohammed V Stadium in Casablanca, while the second clash is slated for the Moulay Hassan Stadium in Rabat.

The eighth overall selection in the 2022 MLS SuperDraft out of Stanford University, Bouda has played in 70 MLS games (16 starts, 5g/1a) and six Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup matches (five starts, 2g/0a) across four seasons for San Jose, with a combined seven goals and one assist in all competitions.
