Mauritius Football Association

MAURITIUS NATIONAL FOOTBALL TEAM

The needs for a complete change of the National Team after the I.O.I.Games were imperative, to cater new exigencies of the modern football.

The Mauritius Football Association with the collaboration of the Ministry of Youth and Sports are struggling to ensure a continuous progress of our National Team.

            The precise moment came and a new coach in the person on Mr. Ashok Chundunsing who needs no introduction was appointed.

            Our target is the 2011 Indian Ocean Islands Games to be held in Seychelles preceding the 2010 FIFA World Cup, preliminary round South Africa / 2010 African Cup of Nations – Angola, a task which is difficult and challenging but not impossible.

            In order to reach our goal,  a good squad is needed to be able to reproduce the same kind of football which we saw decades ago.

And with a view to achieving this, the new coach has already approached new young talented and skilled players to bring back the highly coveted gold to our country which we won in 1985 and 2003 and to qualify for the final phase of the African Cup of Nations 2010, where we were present only in 1974.
