The Mauritius women's national football team is the first women's association football team that represents the country of Mauritius. They are controlled by the Mauritius Football Association and are members of FIFA, the Confederation of African Football (CAF), and the Council of Southern Africa Football Associations (COSAFA). The development of women's football in the country and in Africa as a whole faces a number of challenges, with a programme for women's football not being created in the country until 1997. FIFA gives money to the Mauritius Football Association, 10% of which is aimed at developing football in the country in areas that include women's football, sport medicine and futsal.

History

In 1985, very few countries had a women's national football team and Mauritius was no exception, with a women's football programme only being established in the country in 1997. Their first match was against Réunion on 3 June 2012 in Saint-Denis. This match ended in a 3–0 defeat. A return match was planned for July 2012 in Mauritius, but this was put back to November 2012. The match was played in Bambous on 25 November 2012, with Réunion winning again, this time by 2 goals to 1.

Mauritius was scheduled to take part in several competitions, which they ended up withdrawing from before playing a single match. The list includes the 2002 Council of Southern Africa Football Associations (COSAFA) women's tournament in Harare, Zimbabwe from which they withdrew. In 2005, Zambia was supposed to host a regional COSAFA women's football tournament, with several countries agreeing to send teams including South Africa, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Malawi, Seychelles, Mauritius, Madagascar, Zambia, Botswana, Namibia, Lesotho and Swaziland. The tournament eventually took place in 2006, but Mauritius did not send a team. Beyond that, they were scheduled to participate in the 2008 Women's U-20 World Cup qualification, where they were scheduled to play Zimbabwe in the preliminary round; however, Zimbabwe withdrew from the competition giving Mauritius an automatic bye into the first round. In that round Mauritius was supposed to play South Africa, but withdrew from the competition.

They took part in the 2019 COSAFA Women's Championship, losing all three matches in their group.

As of 2012, the head coach was Alain Jules. As of March 2012, the team was not ranked in the world by FIFA, as it had not yet participated in any matches against other FIFA members. By June 2020, they were bottom of the FIFA rankings.

Маврикий — национальная футбольная команда, представляющая Маврикий на международных соревнованиях. Контролируется Федерацией футбола Маврикия, объединяющей в себе футбольные клубы с острова. Маврикий является членом ФИФА с 1964 года и членом КАФ с 1963 года.

Футбольную ассоциацию Маврикия основали в 1952 году, а команда начала регулярно принимать участие в международных соревнованиях в 1960 году. Маврикий ни разу не проходил на чемпионаты мира и только дважды участвовал в Кубке африканских наций: в 1974 и 1986 годах, заняв девятое место в 1974 году.

Маврикий показывал невысокие результаты на международном уровне, но стал чемпионом Индийского океана в 1993 году и принимал участие в Играх Содружества в 1998 году. Сборная долгое время испытывала кадровый голод, вызванный слабым развитием футбола в стране и низким уровнем жизни многих граждан.

В 2000-х годах Маврикий показал некоторый прогресс, улучшив свой рейтинг ФИФА и проведя несколько успешных товарищеских матчей. В 2005 году сборная заняла четвёртое место на футбольном турнире Островной игры в Амстердаме. В 2010-х годах у команды снова наметился спад результатов, а в 2019 году сборную дисквалифицировали из-за вмешательства правительства в её дела.

Маврикий в основном играет в оборонительной манере, используя быстрые контратаки. Домашние матчи сборная проводит на стадионе Анжалей, расположенном в городе Белль-Вю. Талисманом команды является гигантская птица додо, вымершая в 17 веке.
