Association Sportive de Monaco Basketball Club
Monaco’s association with basketball dates back to 1928 when the club was created, in the midst of the American team game that grew into the popular sport we know today. Since then, the Monegasque basketball team has been a success story.
The club’s name, AS Monaco Basket, is derived from the French phrase “Association de sportive”, which means “club of sports”. They play in the French top-tier level LNB Pro A and compete in the EuroLeague.
This season has been a near-perfect one for the Monegasque basketball team, leading the French Pro A championship and qualifying for the last sixteen of the Champions League (Europe). It’s also been their best ever EuroLeague campaign.
They have an excellent coach in Philippe Clement who was previously on the books of Belgian side Club Brugge before taking over at the Principality outfit. He is looking to stamp his authority on the team this year.
He also has a good group of players and they are all looking forward to the season ahead. They are all talented and are determined to win a title this season.
Their home ground is the Stade Louis II, which is located on a site that was once reclaimed from the sea. It has an indoor arena underneath the stands that allows basketball, volleyball and handball to be played.
Tickets for Monaco’s home games are available via the club’s official website, as well as from a number of sellers around the city including Digitick and Francebillet. You can also purchase them from the ticket office at the stadium itself.

History
In 1928, the Association Sportive de Monaco basketball section was established. This is a French-registered professional basketball club, and they play their home games at Salle Gaston Medecin. The team currently competes in the French top-tier level LNB Pro A and the EuroLeague.
AS Monaco Basket started to develop as a threat in the French League, which was renamed LNB Pro A (French 1st Division) in 1985. The team was one of the most successful in the league, winning several titles during the 1980s.
During the 1980s, the team was led by former NBA player Robert Smith. He was named the 1987 French League All-Star Game MVP.
The team won the French Federation Cup in 1986 and finished second in the LNB Pro A in 1985. In the 2014-15 season, they became the French 2nd-tier LNB Pro B champions. They then won the French Pro A League Cup in 2016 and were promoted back to the top-tier league in France, the LNB Pro A.
After this, they returned to European-wide competitions and participated in the FIBA Basketball Champions League for the 2017-18 season. This was the first time that they were in the highest pan-European level of basketball.
This was a big step forward for the team, and it gave them more exposure on the international stage. It also allowed them to get a chance to meet the world’s best teams.
