AS Monaco is a professional football club based in Monaco, a sovereign city-state on the French Riviera. Founded in 1918, the club plays its home matches at the Stade Louis II. Although Monaco is a separate country, the team competes in France's top football division, Ligue 1, under the jurisdiction of the French Football Federation.

The club is notable for its unique status as the only team from outside France in the French league system. AS Monaco has a distinguished history, having won multiple Ligue 1 titles and achieving notable success in European competitions. The club has also been renowned for developing world-class talent and competing regularly against France's most established teams.

Recently, AS Monaco has been in the news due to a challenging period in their season. The team has suffered significant defeats in Ligue 1 matches, including a loss to Stade Rennais. These matches have been particularly notable as the team has repeatedly faced the disadvantage of having players sent off, reducing them to ten men during play.

The recent coverage has also highlighted the return of prominent player Paul Pogba, who made his first appearance for the club after an extended absence from competitive football. His comeback has generated considerable media attention, with various sports outlets providing analysis and highlights from his return match despite the team's unfavorable results.
