صحافة بلادي — In just one decade, Mauritanian football has moved from the bottom of the FIFA rankings to a continental role model in institutional governance; The Mauritanian Football Federation (FFRIM) succeeded in qualifying for three consecutive editions of the African Cup of Nations and entering the Nouadhibou club into the group stage of the African Champions League.
1. Optimal investment of FIFA Forward program funds in infrastructure
In its periodic reports, the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA) attributes the Mauritanian boom to financial stringency and directing FIFA Forward grants towards concrete projects rather than fleeting administrative expenses. The federation’s central headquarters in Nouakchott was constructed and expanded, the Sheikha Ould Bedia Stadium was modernized, and an integrated national academy was established to train the Sunni categories (under 15, under 17, and under 20 years).
The Mauritanian Federation also launched its own television production studio to broadcast Mauritanian League matches in high quality (HD) and equip the arbitration rooms with video technology (VAR), which raised the attractiveness of the national championship.
2. The openness of the Mauritanian League and the experience of hosting regional clubs
The Mauritanian football administration was characterized by smart organizational flexibility that enhanced the competitiveness of the local league (Super D1), and this was evident in the development of FC Nouadhibou, the Customs Club and the Tevragh Zeina Club, as well as the openness to hosting international matches and sister clubs in Nouakchott thanks to the security, stability and quality of the CAF-approved stadiums.
3. The strategic partnership between the Mauritanian Federation and the Royal Moroccan Football Federation
The partnership and cooperation agreements between the Mauritanian Federation and the Royal Moroccan Football University contributed to the formation of technical frameworks, the organization of preparatory camps for the “Al-Mourabitoun” team at the Mohammed VI Football Complex in Maamoura, and the exchange of experiences in the field of sports medicine and training of referees.
