With AS Monaco turning 100 this year, the team will be commemorating this historic event by releasing an official tribute book filled with stunning photos and personal stories that chronicle the successes of Monaco’s beloved team over the years. 

Since its official founding on 23rd August 1924, AS Monaco has enjoyed decades of stellar footballing prowess, including eight French titles, five Coupes de France, several Europe-wide awards and entry to the prestigious Champions League.

Now, in 2024, all of these achievements and more are to be commemorated in a beautifully bound tribute book published by Amphora. The edition is set to go on pre-sale from the start of August.  

The 200-plus-page tome will include prefaces by both Prince Albert II and Club President Dmitry Rybolovlev, as well as archival photos—some never seen before— and testimonials and personal portraits of the key players who have proudly sported the colours of Monaco over the last 100 years.

“We are very pleased to offer this book to all lovers of AS Monaco, and more generally to football fans, on the occasion of this exceptional event represented by the centenary of the club,” says Thiago Scuro, CEO of AS Monaco. “This work, which is written by AS Monaco historian Norbert Siri, is aimed at all generations, from the youngest, who would like to know more about the rich history of our club, to the oldest, who wish to remember their most beautiful moments.”
