The Prince landed in Greece for the opening ceremony, and the next day attended the women’s Rowing Beach Sprint event, where the Principality was represented by Clara Stefanelli and Coline Caussin-Battaglia. The ladies fought the good fight and their efforts paid off beating the hometown favourites in their sport.

He then joined all the athletes for a luncheon that included the Ferry brothers, who were set to compete on Wednesday in the Beach Volleyball tournament.

The Prince, an Olympian himself, knows the importance of motivation and support, and was happy to supply it to the competitors.

“I love Greece, I often visit the country and I admire its history, its culture and its people, who are very hospitable,” the Prince told local Media. “Patra is a beautiful city. I love the food here, as well as the beaches with picturesque restaurants by the sea, the smells and the kind and helpful people.”

The Mediterranean Beach Gamesare celebrated every four years bringing together the athletes of the Mediterranean Olympic Committees, members of the ICMG, from three continents: Africa, Asia and Europe.

The first edition was held in Pescara, Italy, in 2015.

Great night for Liverpool fans in Monaco

It was a great night for Liverpool fans in Monaco where the 2019-2020 Champions League draw was held on Thursday.


The fans of Liverpool, the defending champions, celebrated their defender Virgil Van Dijk who won the Men’s player of the year award over the football’s biggest two icons, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Van Dijk also won the best defender of the year while his Brazilian teammate, Alisson Becker, won the best goalkeeper award.

On the other hand, the champions league draw put Liverpool in Group E alongside Napoli, Salzburg and Genk, which is considered easy compared to Barcelona’s group alongside Borussia Dortmund, Inter Milan and Slavia Prague.

Liverpool have a strong start at the Premier League this season as they are leading the table with three victories out of three games.

Liverpool’s priority this season is to win the Premier League title, which they last won in 1990. However, the team and their fans aim to defend their Champions League title.

Meanwhile, Lucy Bronze was awarded the Women’s Player of the year, and Eric Cantona was given the President’s Award.
