A decisive match for promotion to Ligue F\u00e9minine 2<\/h2>\n\n

Currently top in the NF1 league, the MBA sees the match as a crucial step towards their goal of moving up to Ligue F\u00e9minine 2. Against the Ambitions Girondines team, which is also a strong contender at the top of the table, every possession and every point will be crucial.<\/p>\n\n

Club president \u00c9ric Elena says: “We are extremely proud to be about to play at the Salle Gaston M\u00e9decin, the home of Monegasque basketball, for what promises to be a memorable encounter.”\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n\n

Sport as a means of promoting womens’ rights<\/h2>\n\n

As well as the sporting stakes, the match is about an essential cause: women’s rights. At a time when the Principality is stepping up initiatives to combat violence and discrimination against women, the event is a reminder that equality shouldn’t just exist on the playing field. “We want this match to be a moment of celebration, recognition and commitment to equality,”<\/i>\u00a0 says \u00c9ric Elena.<\/p>\n\n

A call for concerted action<\/h2>\n\n

The MBA is inviting members of the general public to come out in numbers to support its team and, in doing so, demonstrate their commitment to a fairer and more inclusive society. Admission is free, so everyone can take part in one of the season’s flagship events, both in sporting and social terms. “Sport is a wonderful vehicle for values, and we want to remind people that excellence, determination and pushing limits are not gender-specific,”<\/i> said the club’s President.<\/p>\n\n
