A new season begins at AS Monaco Rugby with ambitions for promotion to Fédérale 1

A new season has begun for AS Monaco Rugby, and the club has marked the occasion with a cocktail for its members and partners at Centre Cardio-Thoracique. The gathering was an opportunity for the team to speak about their ambitions for promotion into Fédérale 1 and their commitment to developing rugby in the Principality.

On 18th September, AS Monaco Rugby hosted a cocktail event at the Centre Cardio-Thoracique de Monaco in the presence of its players that brought together key partners and sponsors, including the Conseil National, as well as the club’s many fans and supporters.

Heading into the 2024/25 season, the club hopes to build on the successes of its 2023/24 campaign, which saw the premier team finish second in Fédérale 2, narrowly missing promotion into the Fédérale 1 league. Now, the club is aiming to achieve that promotion and reaffirm rugby’s place in the Principality. The women’s team also made strides last season.

Thomas Riqué, President of AS Monaco Rugby, told Monaco Life, “I am so happy to see other sports develop in the Principality and see such excellent results. The club keeps growing, especially with younger members, which makes me very proud. None of this would be possible without passion and quality.”

With a strong focus on player development, AS Monaco Rugby has pledged to continue its investments in its youth academy, which is recognised as one of the best in the region. The programme is open to both boys and girls.
