Facts and practical information

Stade Louis II is an emblematic sports venue nestled in the principality of Monaco, renowned for its distinctive architecture and as the home ground of the AS Monaco football club. Completed in 1985, this modern stadium replaced the original Stade Louis II, which dated back to the 1930s, and was named after Prince Louis II of Monaco.

With a seating capacity of around 18,500, Stade Louis II is modest in size but stands out due to its prime location in the Fontvieille district and its unique design that includes a distinctive nine-pointed star roof. The stadium is not only a hub for football; it also houses the Herculis track and field meet, part of the Diamond League series, making it a versatile venue for various types of sporting events.

The stadium's amenities are state-of-the-art, featuring a vast array of facilities including a large sports hall, a swimming pool, and several other sports-related accommodations. The complex also includes a lavish royal box, reflecting Monaco's luxurious lifestyle and the presence of the principality's royal family at significant matches and events.

Despite its smaller scale compared to other European stadiums, Stade Louis II has hosted numerous prestigious events, including UEFA Champions League matches and the UEFA Super Cup. Its central Mediterranean location and the allure of Monaco make it a unique destination for sports fans around the world.
