Former Town star helps Mauritius win their first World Cup qualifier since 2003
Former Ipswich Town midfielder Kevin Bru helped Mauritius win their first World Cup qualifier in more than two decades this month.
The 35-year-old played a key role for the Dodos as they beat Eswatini 2-1 in their second qualifying game for the 2026 World Cup.
Bru had scored in their opening game in Libya, losing 2-1 but assisted their second goal in their first victory in qualifying since November 2003.
He is currently without a club having left Icelandic side IBV, who are managed by former Town favourite Hermann Hreidarsson, in January.
The Paris-born player spent four years at Portman Road, making over 100 appearances after joining the club on a free transfer from Bulgarian side Levski Sofia.

Bru left the Blues back in 2018 and has since played in Cyprus, Romania and France, with him looking to find a club in the latter.
He said recently: "I don’t really want to move that far away from Paris," citing family projects and a move into coaching.
He is also not ruling out retiring from international football, having won 28 caps for his country, scoring three goals.
