Errors fixed

 * All references to the 2005 tournament were erased, as this was an U-18 tournament run by CJSOI and did not feature full national teams (which the Wikipedia article refers to). There have been other editions of this tournament in which Mauritius has participated, but as the article does not pertain to U-18 national teams, it doesn't seem correct to mention them here.
 * Added news of Mauritius' first match against Réunion on 3rd June 2012.
 * Removed "no indication that tournament took place" reference with regard to 2005 COSAFA Women's Championship. A simple glance at the linked source above would have allowed the previous editor to see that the tournament did actually take place the following year.  Fixed the source to reflect this.
 * Deleted reference to tournaments that Mauritius has not played in. Mauritius has not played in ANY tournament, therefore, the list should technically be a lot longer than it was if it were to mention all tournaments that Mauritius has not played in.  It seems pointless to mention just 2 editions of tournaments from the many hundreds that are possible, especially as it is evident from the article that Mauritius has played only one match in their entire history.Mcruic (talk) 02:51, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
 * The supposed match played in 2002, and shown in FIFA's documentation, is an error. There was no such match as can be seen by searching FIFA's matches database on FIFA.com.  No Mauritius matches are listed at all.

African women's national football team pages
Not sure exactly where to put this comment, but in general, most of these articles need a thorough edit. Some of them are written very clumsily and others have factual errors. Also, the infoboxes are not consistent for all team pages, with some having information that others lack. This particular page, for example, has information about "sub-confederation", which for some reason precedes the information about "confederation", which is higher up in terms of hierarchy. I'd be willing to help improve these articles, if I have enough time, as I have carried out quite extensive research on women's international football over the last few years.

 * I can only speak for the articles I edit, but the subconfederation part is how the infobox work. Clumsy writing is my problem for a number of articles because my writing is that way.  I'm of the opinion of factually accurate, supported by sources and clumsy writing over no information. : / Outside of me, I don't think there are really is anyone working on these articles. Infoboxes that I've done I have tried to be as consistent as possible with but not always the case.   I think I spent the better part of three months creating a lot of those wanted articles. : / Your best bet for additional help is probably to ask for help over at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football‎.


 * That's all very well. But I wasn't asking for help - I was offering it (if required).  I spent the best part of 3 months researching solely women's international football results.  Consequently, my results database is more accurate than FIFA's.  The problem is, FIFA's database is taken as factual, when in actual fact it contains a number of errors, which they have acknowledged (although not publicly). Mcruic (talk) 14:17, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

Pierre-Yves Bodineau as coach
"ASSEMBLÉE NATIONALE — SÉLECTIONS NATIONALES DE FOOTBALL: Deux entraîneurs volontaires à la barre", December 3, 2017, Le Mauricien (Port Lewis, Mauritius), Author/Byline: Week-End - via NewsBank: Reports that the coaches of both the men's and women's national football teams were volunteers, appointed by the MFA for two-year terms. "Tandis que pour la sélection féminine c'est le duo Pierre-Yves Bodineau et Mahen Sollick qui est responsable ... [the men's coach] est en place depuis août 2017 et que le Français Pierre-Yves Bodineau lui, est en fonction depuis septembre dernier." Hoepfully someone fluent in French can confirm whether this means since September 2016 or September 2017. Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 23:43, 4 August 2022 (UTC)
