Premier League Live Scores, Fixtures and Standings

Premier League is Mauritania’s top-tier men’s football league, officially known as Super D1, and the country’s principal competition for domestic clubs. Governed by the Federation of Football of the Islamic Republic of Mauritania (FFRIM), it determines the national champion and provides Mauritanian clubs with a route into continental competition.

Identity and role

Super D1 sits at the summit of Mauritania’s domestic football structure. Its purpose is both sporting and developmental: clubs compete for the national title while providing an important environment for players, coaches and officials to develop at the highest domestic level. The competition also forms a key part of the pathway towards the Mauritania national team, commonly known as the Lions of Chinguetti.

The league is a national competition rather than a regional tournament, with participating clubs drawn from across Mauritania. Its champion represents the country in CAF club competitions, giving the domestic season significance beyond the league table. Strong performances can bring greater visibility for clubs and players, as well as opportunities to progress into international football.

History and governance

The competition was established in 1976 as part of the development of organised football in Mauritania. It is administered by the FFRIM, which oversees the national football system and sets the sporting, disciplinary and technical framework for the league. The federation’s regulations operate within the wider principles of FIFA and the Confederation of African Football (CAF).

The league has undergone professionalisation and structural development over time, including measures connected with player contracts and salaries, stadium facilities and training infrastructure. These changes reflect the competition’s wider role in strengthening the domestic game rather than simply providing a championship schedule.

The currently recorded coverage on Xtra-Stats spans the 2020 to 2025 seasons, offering a recent view of a competition whose institutional history reaches back considerably further.

Format and progression

Super D1 generally uses a double round-robin league format. Clubs meet one another twice during the season, normally once at home and once away, with the final table determining the champion. The title is awarded to the team finishing first after the scheduled league programme; there is no separate championship playoff in the standard format described for the competition.

The league typically includes between 14 and 16 teams, although the exact field can vary by season. Fixtures are arranged before the campaign, with the sequence of matches shaped by the official schedule and, where applicable, the previous season’s standings. Promotion and relegation connect Super D1 with Super D2, Mauritania’s second division. The lowest-ranked teams normally descend to the second tier, while leading Super D2 clubs move up according to the applicable promotion regulations.

This merit-based structure gives every league campaign two connected objectives: competing for the national crown at the top and avoiding relegation at the bottom. It also allows successful second-tier clubs to enter the country’s highest level through sporting achievement.

Points and ranking rules

Matches follow the standard football points system:

• three points for a win;
• one point for a draw; and
• no points for a defeat.

When clubs finish level on points, ranking is determined through the competition’s applicable tie-break provisions. The supplied format describes head-to-head performance among the tied teams as the leading comparison, followed by overall goal difference and total goals scored. The precise application of these criteria can be governed by the regulations for the relevant season.

Disciplinary and eligibility rules also affect league outcomes. Clubs must comply with the competition’s registration requirements, including the applicable restrictions on foreign players. A breach can result in a match being awarded as a 3–0 forfeit against the offending team. Such sanctions are distinct from sporting results recorded on the pitch and can have a direct effect on the standings.

Season calendar and stakes

The season generally follows an autumn-to-spring rhythm, beginning in the later months of the calendar year and concluding around May or June. This timing fits the broader international football calendar and helps clubs manage domestic fixtures alongside CAF commitments. Exact opening and closing dates may change between editions.

Winning the Premier League delivers the Mauritanian championship and the country’s principal route into the CAF Champions League, usually beginning in the competition’s qualifying rounds. Other high-ranking clubs, or clubs benefiting from the relevant domestic cup allocation, may gain access to the CAF Confederation Cup. Continental qualification therefore adds a second layer of reward to the domestic title race.

For supporters, the competition combines the familiarity of a national league with the wider ambition of African club football. For clubs, it is a test of consistency across a full season: success depends on accumulating points over two meetings with each opponent, managing the pressures of eligibility and discipline, and finishing above both domestic rivals and the relegation places. That combination makes Mauritania’s top flight the central stage for the country’s club game.
