Stade Louis II is the long-standing home of both AS Monaco and the Monaco national football team after replacing the original 1939 version of Stade Louis in 1985. Named after Louis II, Prince of Monaco (1870-1949), the stadium is built on reclaimed land and it boasts another unique distinction in being able to seat almost two thirds of the country’s 36,371 population which is quite remarkable. Football fans from around Europe may well know the iconic venue as the host of the annual UEFA Super Cup match between 1998-2012 where the winners of the Champions League faced the winners of the UEFA/Europa league with Monaco provided a glamorous backdrop to this elite footballing event. With a lot of the facilities such as the car park built directly under the pitch, the quality of Stade Louis’ playing surface has often attracted criticism from managers’ although to what extent this is too blame remains to be seen. As a country which is lacking in land mass, it is no surprise to know that the stadium is used as a multipurpose sporting venue with the perimeter of the pitch being occupied by an athletics track. Gaston-Médecin indoor Sports hall located beneath the stands is capable of hosting Basketball, volleyball plus other sports and a full size Olympic swimming pool facilities known as Prince-Héréditaire Albert. Overall despite lacking in size, AS Monaco’s home is one of the most iconic stadiums in the world with distinct architecture such as the 9 arches outside, and the Mediterranean backdrop which provides glorious sunshine and deep blue skylines.
