Burhan is born and raised in Senegal, but early in his career moved to Qatar, and became a naturalized citizen. He is a member of the Qatar national football team. He was given his international debut against Bahrain in the 2004 by caretaker coach Saeed Al-Misnad.[1] He was Qatar's first choice goalkeeper in the 2011 Asian Cup.

He won Goalkeeper of the tournament in the 22nd Arabian Gulf Cup held in Saudi Arabia, having succeeded in winning the title over Oman's Ali Al-Habsi who consecutively won the last four Goalkeeper of the tournament titles in the tournament.[2][3] He was selected in Qatar's 2015 Asian Cup squad despite having a torrid record with Al Gharafa in the league during the 2014–15 season.[4]
