🇲🇷 Can underdogs Mauritania be the next Comoros at the 2023 AFCON?
Appearing at only their third AFCON, Mauritania have come a long way in a short time!
Mauritania had to wait until 2019 to make their first appearance at the Africa Cup of Nations.
The Northwestern African nation failed to score a single goal at the 2021 AFCON as they lost all three games and finished with the worst record of any team in the tournament.
Back at AFCON for 2023 (played in 2024, confusingly), Mauritania hope to make more of an impact at the third time of asking - and they have a new manager who can drawn on past experience to make that happen.
Mauritania boss Amir Abdou is the man who led Comoros to their first ever AFCON in 2021 where they claimed a famous win over Ghana and made a shock run to the knockout rounds.
Can Mauritania be the next Comoros? Will they be the surprise package of the 2023 AFCON?
