Here\u2019s why.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0e101a;\">An intimately entwined relationship with no sign of stopping in sight, Monaco has always been synonymous with sport on the Rock. As the epicentre of a handful of the world\u2019s biggest sporting events, the Principality is a true model of urban planning when it comes to its facilities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0e101a;\">Despite its small surface area, little over 2 km2, Monaco is home to the Stade Louis II, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/en\/2020\/05\/stade-louis-ii-5-things-to-know-about-the-home-of-as-monaco\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"color: #4a6ee0;\">the heart and soul of the territory<\/span><\/a><span style=\"color: #0e101a;\">, which homes an unsuspected number of disciplines. The water sports centre, sports hall, dojo, fencing and boxing hall all quietly sit below the stadium\u2019s pitch which itself has seen some of the most prestigious teams in Europe challenge the Rock\u2019s very own AS Monaco. Many world athletics stars have crossed its hallowed track, thanks to the Herculis Meeting which takes place every summer. The formidable showcase of Monaco\u2019s architecture, way ahead of its time, was built in 1985, reflecting Monaco\u2019s love of sport.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm; margin-bottom: .0001pt;\"><span style=\"color: #0e101a;\">If Louis II has not satisfied your sporting appetite, the streets of the Principality often transform into a life-size playground. The whole Rock lights up with a thousand lights throughout the year as sporting events follow one another in the Principality, from the\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/en\/2020\/03\/monaco-f1-grand-prix-cancelled-for-the-first-time-since-1954\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"color: #4a6ee0;\">Formula 1 Grand Prix<\/span><\/a><span style=\"color: #0e101a;\">, Jumping International and Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters at the Country Club. A country of champions, Monaco is home to many sportsmen and women, some of whom, in addition to having written their own history on the Rock, reside all year round on the Mediterranean shores.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong><span style=\"color: #0e101a;\">Sport in Monaco: a family affair<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0e101a;\">As a stronghold of world sport, Monaco hosts the SPORTEL Awards, a conference which brings together decision-makers from the media and sporting industries. Playing a pivotal role in significant sport advances worldwide, Monaco has the unwavering support of the HSH Prince Albert II. After all, it is the result of the passionate sportspeople of the Princely Family that makes Monaco\u2019s roots in it so strong.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0e101a;\">Jack Kelly, the Sovereign\u2019s maternal grandfather and father of Grace Kelly, was an Olympic rowing champion at the 1920 and 1924 Olympic Games. President of the Monegasque Olympic Committee, which brings together twenty federations and prepares athletes to compete for the Olympic Games, Prince Albert II continually strives to make Monaco a sporting stronghold. As a member of the International Olympic Committee, the son of Prince Rainier III took part in five Olympic Winter Games on the bobsleigh team (Calgary 1988, Albertville 1992, Lillehammer 1994, Nagano 1998 and Salt Lake City 2002).<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm; margin-bottom: .0001pt;\"><span style=\"color: #0e101a;\">More recently, Princess Charlene of Monaco, the Prince\u2019s wife and ex-swimmer\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/en\/2020\/05\/princess-charlene-of-monaco-presents-her-team-for-the-virtual-24-hours-of-le-mans\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"color: #4a6ee0;\">became involved by putting forward an official car<\/span><\/a><span style=\"color: #0e101a;\">\u00a0to take part in the forthcoming virtual 24 Hours of Le Mans (June 13-14th), a unique endurance race involving professional drivers and Esport specialists.

To meet the first point, the Government has included physical education and swimming lessons in the timetable, which are taught from a young age by specialised teachers. School buildings are equipped with sports facilities for more conventional sports, both group and individual. With nearly a hundred sports associations, many of which receive state funding, young Monegasques can practise a multitude of disciplines.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm; margin-bottom: .0001pt;\"><span style=\"color: #0e101a;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm; margin-bottom: .0001pt;\"><span style=\"color: #0e101a;\">Secondary school pupils benefit from a large number of hours of training due to many classes offered at flexible hours. In line with the status of high-level Olympic sportsman, which was introduced to encourage the participation of national sportspeople in significant events such as the Olympic Games, sport is encouraged in all areas of life in Monaco. Through the Monegasque Olympic Committee, national athletes can benefit from assistance in their Olympic training.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Home of the world\u2019s most prestigious sporting events, the Principality of Monaco has been one of the world\u2019s leading sports [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":28645,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1825,243,257],"tags":[2821],"post_sectags":[],"post_format":[2468],"class_list":["post-29055","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-editors-choice","category-news","category-sports-en","tag-as-monaco-en-2","format-story"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.8 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>A long and happy love story: Monaco\u2019s history with sport<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Home of the world\u2019s most prestigious sporting events, the Principality of Monaco has been one of the world\u2019s leading sports venues for decades.
