There are just a few days left for fans to get their hands on an AS Monaco jersey from the team’s winning game against Metz, which are being auctioned off in aid of Pink Ribbon Monaco initiatives. Here’s how to place a bid.  

To mark Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the AS Monaco football club is auctioning off a select number of autographed jerseys from the Monegasque side’s recent 2-1 win against Metz on 22nd October at the Stade Louis II.  

A total of 12 shirts, from the likes of Golovin, Diatta, Minamino and Akliouche, are up for grabs via an auction hosted by the club’s memorabilia partner, Catawiki.  

The auction is a co-venture between the team, under the auspices of its Monacoeur programme, and Pink Ribbon Monaco, a local breast cancer awareness charity that regularly organises awareness and breast cancer prevention events in the Principality. 

To add to the excitement, a special draw will be held amongst the auction winners. The prize is a private tour of the Performance Centre for two people, as well as two VIP places and a “warm-up” experience at the match between AS Monaco and Olympique Lyonnais in mid-December. 

Bids are being accepted until 1st November and the full list of shirts available can be found here.

Breast cancer is the first or second leading cause of female cancer deaths in 95% of the world’s nations, and over 2.3 million cases are diagnosed each year worldwide.

Municipal Police receive electric bikes to ease travel around Monaco

Monaco’s Municipal Police have received two new electric bikes from the Mairie in an initiative that will not only help officers navigate the notoriously small streets of the Principality, but also reduce C02 emissions.

The electric bikes were purchased under the leadership of Municipal Councillor Jean-Luc Puyo, Delegate to the Municipal Police.

“Thanks to these vehicles, Municipal Police teams strengthen their local missions and can intervene in areas that are difficult to access by motorised vehicles but also more quickly, without polluting and avoiding increasingly dense traffic,” said the Mairie in a statement. Municipal Police officers patrol the entire Principality and are responsible for reporting offenses related to parking, among other things.

This flagship project to acquire electric bikes was widely discussed in the lead-up to the municipal election, and was implemented just six months after the project’s inauguration in April 2023.

“The acquisition once again confirms the environmental commitment and the wish of the Municipal Institution to promote clean vehicles and gentler, environmentally friendly mobility,” concluded the Mairie.
