Angers SCO defender Jordan Lefort has received his first call-up to the Mauritania national team. The call-up is for a series of friendly matches scheduled during the March 2026 international window.
Mauritania is set to play a high-profile friendly against world champions Argentina. The match is scheduled for Monday, March 23, 2026, in Tangier, Morocco. The Argentine Football Association confirmed Lionel Scaloni's squad, including Lionel Messi, for this fixture.
Lefort's selection comes after a difficult club match for Angers, who lost 5-1 to RC Lens in Ligue 1 on Friday, March 20. The defender expressed his eagerness to join the national team setup following the announcement.
The Mauritanian Football Federation (FFRIM) has organized a second friendly match during the window, though the specific opponent was not detailed in immediate federation communications. The team's preparations are taking place in Morocco ahead of the Argentina clash.
