Mauritius played its first competitive international game in 1947 against Réunion, which they won 2-1. For the next 20 years, they would only play Réunion and Madagascar (probably due to the close proximity of the three islands to each other) in friendlies and the Indian Ocean Games Triangulaire, which existed from 1947-1963. Mauritius won the competition 10 times over that time period, were runners-up twice, and came in third once. Starting in 1967, Mauritius began competing against other countries, playing friendlies and entering in such competitions as the Africa Cup of Nations and FIFA World Cup qualification, though they haven't found much success. While they have never qualified for the World Cup finals, they have qualified once for the Africa Cup of Nations, in 1974. However, they were eliminated in the group stages. Mauritius did manage to win the resurrected Indian Ocean Games in 1985. (more...)

The Moka Range, is a mountain range in Mauritius. It contains two of Mauritius's three tallest peaks, Pieter Both and Le Pouce. It was formed from a basaltlava dome ten million years ago. The Moka Range forms a semicircle around the capital of Mauritius, Port Louis. In the photo, part of the Moka Range can be seen from the summit of Le Pouce.
