AS Monaco Basket ceases operations due to financial insolvency

On October 7, 2026, AS Monaco Basket officially announced the cessation of its operations following an extended period of severe financial distress. The club has entered a state of payment suspension, effectively ending its participation in both domestic and European basketball competitions. This decision follows the team's failure to secure a license to compete in the French league, serving as the final factor in the dissolution of the professional project.

Over its 12-year history, the club achieved significant success, including three French championships, four Leaders Cups, two French Cups, and one Super Cup. Internationally, the team competed for five seasons in the EuroLeague and secured the EuroCup title in 2021, marking the first European team sport trophy for the Principality of Monaco. The club concluded its final domestic season undefeated.

Management stated that the current suspension is intended to allow for a potential restructuring process. While the organization is effectively ceasing activity, officials expressed a hope that the project might be restarted in the future, although no specific timeline or concrete plans for such a revival have been provided.
