Challenge Ravera returns to Monaco for 17th edition

The Challenge Ravera returns to Monaco this weekend, marking the 17th edition of a competition that has become a fixture on the international sport-boules calendar since it was first held in 2008.

Over the years the tournament has built a reputation for showcasing young players and female competitors, drawing entrants from across the sport-boules world to the Principality. Its longevity, now spanning nearly two decades, has helped cement Monaco's standing as a regular stop for the discipline's international circuit.

For residents and visitors with an interest in the sport, the weekend offers a chance to see competitors who have come through the Challenge Ravera's youth and women's pathways test themselves at a high level, right in the heart of Monaco.
