Nathanio Kompaoré (born 20 June 2001) is a Burkinabé footballer who plays as a forward in the Anderlecht youth system and the Burkina Faso national team.

Club career

In October 2019, Kompaoré signed a three-year deal with Belgian side Anderlecht.[1]

International career

Kompaoré was first called up to the Burkina Faso senior squad in late 2017, as a part of the 25-man squad convened by manager Idrissa Malo Traoré for the 2018 African Nations Championship.[2][3] At 16 years old, he was the youngest player in the competition.[4] He made his international debut during the first group stage match against Angola on 16 January, playing the full 90 minutes of an eventual 0–0 draw.[5] After the match, the Moroccan publication Le Matin called him a "young prodigy" and the "most talented" player on the pitch.[6] He made two more appearances in the tournament (against Congo and Cameroon, respectively) as Burkina Faso finished third in their group, ending their campaign.

He won a gold medal with the national under-20 team at the 2019 African Games.[7] He later represented the U20s at the 2021 U-20 Africa Cup of Nations.[8]
