Preparations for the 37th edition of the Tour du Faso international cycling race in Burkina Faso have progressed through several organizational stages. In mid-October, the Ministry of Sports, Youth, and Employment installed the National Organizing Committee (CNO), led by Ignace Amédé Béréwoudougou. The committee was structured with various cells and commissions to manage the event and minimize operational risks.

By late October, as the competition approached its October 30 start date, organizers and athletes sought traditional blessings from the Mogho Naaba Baongo. The national cycling team, accompanied by the Minister of Sports, Youth, and Employment, prepared for the race alongside international participants, including an eight-member delegation from Côte d'Ivoire.
