Situație incredibilă în baschet. Campioana Franței, exclusă din baschetul profesionist
AS Monaco, the French basketball champion, has been excluded from professional competitions for the 2026-2027 season due to unresolved financial issues. The French Basketball Federation declined to reopen the club's case, following a recommendation from the French National Olympic and Sports Committee to maintain the exclusion. This decision halts Monaco's attempts to return to the top leagues, forcing them to potentially compete in Nationale 1, the third tier of French basketball. Despite winning the championship in June, the club's financial challenges have led to this situation, and they had sought a review after securing a new investor.
