Nouadhibou FC win seventh straight Mauritanian league title
Published:
Nouadhibou FC etched their name into the annals of Mauritanian football once again, clinching a record-extending seventh consecutive league title with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over ASAC Concorde on Sunday.
The slender win was enough to seal Club Orange's domestic dominance, fending off a spirited challenge from rivals AS Douanes to be crowned champions with two games to spare.
In a season-long duel that went down to the wire, Nouadhibou displayed the poise and resilience that has become synonymous with their recent years of unparalleled success.
Sunday's clash against ASAC Concorde, embroiled in a relegation scrap, presented a potential banana skin.
But the champions-elect dug deep, grinding out a precious 1-0 win to clinch the silverware in typically gritty fashion.
The triumph marked Nouadhibou's 11th top-flight title overall and their seventh in as many years - an astonishing run of dominance that has seen the club cement their status as Mauritanian football's preeminent force.
With 19 wins, three draws and no defeats from 23 matches, Nouadhibou amassed an imposing 60 points, finishing seven clear of nearest challengers AS Douanes to underline their domestic superiority.
As the celebrations begin in earnest, Nouadhibou's attention will quickly turn to playing in the TotalEnergies CAF Champions League next season.
