Noemi Alphonse is one of the most recognised members of Team Mauritius and has been selected as captain of the women’s team.
The wheelchair racer has represented Mauritius at major international competitions and will compete in the para-athletics programme. Her experience and performances make her one of the leading Mauritian athletes to follow in Glasgow.

Remi Feuillet returns to the Commonwealth Games after winning a silver medal in the men’s 90kg judo event at Birmingham 2022.
He will once again compete in the 90kg division and will be looking to place Mauritius on the Commonwealth Games podium for a second consecutive edition.
Fabrice Valerie – Boxing
Fabrice Valerie has been given the honour of carrying the Mauritian flag during the Opening Ceremony.
Boxing has historically been one of Mauritius’ strongest Commonwealth Games sports, and Valerie will compete as part of a five-member boxing team.
Winsley Gangaya – Judo
Winsley Gangaya has been appointed captain of the men’s team. He will compete in the men’s 60kg judo category.
Mauritius is sending ten judoka to Glasgow, making judo one of the largest sections of the national delegation.

Mauritius will have two representatives in weightlifting:

How Did Mauritius Perform at Birmingham 2022?
Mauritius won five medals at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham:
- Silver: Louis Richarno Colin – boxing, light welterweight
- Silver: Remi Feuillet – judo, men’s 90kg
- Silver: Roilya Ranaivosoa – weightlifting, women’s 49kg
- Bronze: Christianne Legentil – judo, women’s 57kg
- Bronze: Sebastien Perrinne – judo, men’s over 100kg
The final tally was three silver medals and two bronze medals. Team Mauritius will be hoping to build on that performance in Glasgow.
Remi Feuillet is among the Birmingham medal winners returning for the 2026 Games.
Why Glasgow 2026 Is Different
The 2026 Commonwealth Games have a smaller sports programme than Birmingham 2022. Sports such as badminton, cricket, hockey, rugby sevens, squash, table tennis and road cycling are not included.
Instead, Glasgow is hosting a more compact ten-sport event across four main venue areas.
The Games will also feature the largest integrated Para sport medal programme in Commonwealth Games history, with 47 Para gold-medal events across six sports.
For Mauritian supporters, this creates particular interest in para-athletics, where Noemi Alphonse and other national representatives will compete.
