AS Monaco Women's Volleyball Eyes Top-Flight Promotion
By Zak Jackson, MonacoViews Editorial
After a debut season in Élite B, AS Monaco's women's volleyball section is targeting promotion to Élite A while pushing ahead with a concrete professionalisation drive.
AS Monaco's women's volleyball section is entering its second season in French third-tier Élite B with a clear ambition: earn promotion to Élite A and establish the Principality as a credible force in the women's game. The club finished its debut campaign in a position that has encouraged those running the project to raise expectations significantly for 2026-27.
Beyond the standings, the club is investing in the structures around the team. That means building out the professional support framework, from coaching staff to administration, that a competitive Élite A side would require. The phrase guiding the project internally is blunt: there is everything still to build, and those involved appear to mean it literally.
For residents and sports followers in Monaco, this represents a quieter but genuine expansion of the club's footprint beyond football and basketball. Whether the squad has the depth to match those off-court ambitions will become clear when the new season gets under way.
