Mauritania Trophy History | Still Waiting for a World Cup or Africa Cup of Nations Title

Mauritania's story so far

Mauritania are one of 160 national teams who have never won a FIFA World Cup or their confederation's continental championship — the same two-tier standard tracked for every team on this site. Best result: reached the AFCON group stage on their tournament debut in 2019, without advancing further.

What would it take?

To join the 51 nations already tracked here, Mauritania would need to win either the FIFA World Cup or the Africa Cup of Nations — the top continental honor in the Africa (CAF) region. Both remain fully open: there's no ranking or seeding that rules a team out permanently, only qualification and results on the pitch.
