Monaco United Women have been crowned District 06 champions in their very first season, after a 14-0 win over AS Fontonne Antibes secured the title with one game still to play.
The Monaco side controlled the match from start to finish, dominating possession and scoring early before managing the game comfortably to its conclusion.
The title also books their place in the regional promotion play-offs in late May, where they will face other district champions for the chance to move up a level. It was the club’s main objective for the season, and they have achieved it as champions.
Marco Simone said the title reflected the work put in since day one. “This season, built entirely from scratch, was prepared in the best possible way,” he said. “This historic title marks a significant moment shared by everyone involved in the adventure.”
Captain Houleyemata Deme was equally emotional. “I feel a great deal of emotion and pride,” she said. “It’s the result of the hard work we put in every single day. Winning it at home, in front of our supporters, makes this moment even more special.”
The title was sealed at the end of a four-game winning run in the league, following their qualification for the Coupe Méditerranée after an away win in Rousset against a Division 3 side.
Now, a Cup Final in their sights
That cup run continues this Sunday, April 5th at 3pm, when Monaco United face Hyères at Stade Didier Deschamps in Cap d’Ail in the semi-final of the Coupe MĂ©diterranĂ©e. Hyères play one division above Monaco United and will start as favourites, but Simone’s side have shown all season they can compete well above their level.
No district-level club has ever reached the final of this competition. “We still have major ambitions in the cup, starting with Sunday,” said Simone. “Our mindset is clear: stay focused and be fully competitive. We want to win as many titles as possible this season.”
The question now is simply how far they can go.
