Mauritius 2024 Home (#22- ROSE) Jersey/Shirt

This is a Macron Mauritius national team 2024 home jersey featuring the number of star defender Lindsay Rose.

Mauritius have traditionally not been a particular strong team, however, have started to improve in recent years after reaching an all-time low FIFA ranking in 2012. Their most significant achievements are qualification for the 1974 African Cup of Nations and winning the Indian Ocean Island Games football tournament in 1985 and 2003. Despite some inconsistent results in their recent history, Mauritius have a young squad with several European-based players, so they have the potential to develop over the coming years. With a large diaspora population spread throughout the world, Mauritius may look to emulate the success of fellow island nation Comoros by calling upon overseas-based players from the Mauritian community.

Lindsay Rose is arguably the highest-profile footballer from the Mauritian diaspora to have represented Mauritius at international level. Rose was born in France to parents of Mauritian heritage and played his youth football in France with Rennes and Laval. He eventually made his senior debut in Ligue 2 with Laval in 2010 and remained at the club for 4 seasons before joining Ligue 1 side Valenciennes in 2013. Rose then moved to Ligue 1 giants Olympique Lyon in July 2014, however had limited opportunities with the first team and eventually signed with fellow Ligue 1 club Lorient in 2015. In 2019, Rose moved abroad to Super League Greece club Aris, where he performed strongly over 2 ½ seasons until moving to Polish powerhouse Legia Warsaw in 2021. In late 2023, Rose then returned to Aris, where the 32-year-old remains a key part of their first team. At international level, Rose represented France at various youth levels before committing to play for Mauritius, where he made his senior debut in 2018. He has since won 17 caps for ‘Les Dodos’ and has captained the national team on occasion in recent years.
