AS Monaco Basket are one game down with another 10 to go in what will be a massive October for the reigning Betclic Élite champs. Here’s when and where to watch Saša Obradović’s Roca Team play. 

After a win against Lyon-Villeurbanne in the Betclic Élite league on 1st October (79-87), the Roca Team’s next few matches will see them take on Dijon at home in Monaco on 3rd October, another Betclic Élite scheduling, before the players head to Pavelló Municipal Font de Sant Lluís for a Turkish Airlines EuroLeague meet with Valencia Basket on 6th October.  

Just two days later, on 8th October, the side will head to La Meilleraie in the Vendée for a Betclic Élite game against Cholet before heading back to home turf at the Salle Gaston Médecin in the Stade Louis II for two successive matches, firstly against Virtus Segafredo Bologna in the EuroLeague on 13th October and then against Bourg-en-Bresse in the Betclic Élite on 15th October.  

Two EuroLeague games will follow with barely a moment to rest: Head Coach Obradović will be taking the players to his native Serbia for a match against KK Crvena Zvezda on 18th October before they zip back to Monaco for a meet with Alba Berlin on 20th October.  

On 22th October, the Roca Team will be heading north to Rhenus Sport for a game with Strasbourg in the Betclic Élite and then they’ll round out the month with two games at home in the Principality. Maccabi Tel Aviv are first up on 26th October for a EuroLeague scheduling then it’ll be a Betclic Élite face-off with Gravelines-Dunkerque on 28th October.

Insights into the aerospace industry with Air League of Monaco events

A former fighter jet pilot and an expert on sustainable aviation are the next guest speakers to take part in upcoming Air League of Monaco dinner events. 

The Air League of Monaco, whose Patron and President is Sir Stelios Haji-Ioanou, founder of the airline easyJet, is back with exciting new events this autumn.

Having previously hosted an event with Captain ‘Bob’ Robert Pearson, the famous ‘Gimli Glider’ pilot who successfully landed an Air Canada passenger flight that had lost all power mid-flight, saving 69 people on board, there is no doubt that these new guest speakers will also be impressive.

Sustainable aviation with Nikhil Sachdeva

The first guest speaker is Nikhil Sachdeva, principal and global lead for sustainable aviation at the global consultancy Roland Berger.

A dinner will be hosted with Nikhil on Tuesday 10th October at 6pm, where a variety of subjects will be covered regarding a transition to sustainable aviation, from what airlines and aerospace companies are working on today to accelerate this transition, to the only available electric aircraft we have to date.

Red Arrows pilot Justin Hughes

Justin Hughes, a former RAF Red Arrows Pilot, will be the guest speaker at a dinner on Wednesday 8th November at 6pm.

Hughes will give insights into his career in aviation, recounting his experience as a Tornado Pilot patrolling the skies of Bosnia, and taking on the role as a senior manager of a global pilot training organisation.

Having flown over 250 displays as Executive Officer on the Red Arrows, he is also able to offer rare insights into the inner workings of the world’s premier formation aerobatic team, and the career options for any aspiring pilots.

A donation to the Air League of Monaco for attending the dinners is €30 for adult members and €15 for young members paid by bank transfer. Don’t miss out on this unique aerospace exploration opportunity!
