La Cure Waves completed one of the greatest seasons in Mauritian football history after defeating ASPL 2000 in a thrilling MFA Cup final at Côte d'Or Sports Complex. The Port Louis outfit secured the last trophy of the domestic campaign to achieve a remarkable and historic league-and-cup double.
Only a week after being crowned champions of the Super League for the first time in the club's history, La Cure Waves showed their determination, resilience and fighting spirit by overcoming ASPL 2000 following a dramatic penalty shoot-out victory (10-9). After more than 120 minutes of intense football ended in a 1-1 draw, the fate of the trophy was decided from the spot.
This success crowns an extraordinary rise for the club. Just two seasons ago, La Cure Waves were competing in the lower division. Today, they stand at the summit of Mauritian football, a feat that confirms the club's rapid transformation into a national powerhouse.
The double-winning campaign will now open the doors to continental football, with La Cure Waves set to represent Mauritius in the preliminary rounds of the CAF Champions League. Their manager Jerome Thomas has spoken honestly about the challenge ahead: 'We are facing the great Orlando Pirates, and we know that it is a professional and well-structured club at the African level. We will play the match giving the best of ourselves.'
For young Mauritian footballers, La Cure Waves' story is proof that anything is possible. From the lower divisions to continental competition in just two seasons. This is what dedication, teamwork and belief can achieve.
