Hi all,
Burkina Faso still does not exist as a country in chess.com, I have noticed that 4 years ago but the problem continues the same.
Players from Burkina Faso are obliged to choose another country (Niger, Mali, USA...) or say they are international. No problem with that.
We have created a team "Burkina Faso" with only people from Burkina Faso (all of them playing in the 2 chess clubs of our country).

We are playing vote chess and matches with other real African teams (Togo, Ghana, Kenya...).
But we would like to play in the World League, or in the African League, even if Burkina Faso still do not exist as a country...
How do we manage that ?
Best regards
Nicolas
AND: Burkina Faso has already a federation recognized by FIDE. We just have completed 2 tournaments with Ivory Coast and we will obtain our player ratings the 1st of January 2016. Many of us play on the chess.com Burkina Faso team. I send you the link below:
