Mauritania

Mauritania is set to debut in the twelfth edition of the Mediterraneanvision Song Contest.

History
On 12 September 2020, Mauritanian broadcaster TVM applied for full MBU membership arguing that the nation should be eligible to do so due to being a member of the Union for the Mediterranean from the side of the Mediterranean Partner countries. The broadcaster stated that should it be able to achieve full membership, it would attempt to debut in the eleventh edition. Under the MBU rules at the time, being a member of the Union for the Mediterranean did not determine full membership. On 3 October 2021, the MBU announced that it was changing its membership requirements to now include members of the Union for the Mediterranean from the side of the Mediterranean Partner countries, thus paving the way to the country's debut in the twelfth edition.
