By Zak Jackson, MonacoViews Editorial
Monaco Basket Association will play its home games at Gaston-Médecin this season after weeks of negotiations with the Monegasque State.
Monaco Basket Association has confirmed it will play its home fixtures at the Salle Gaston-Médecin this season, ending weeks of uncertainty over the club's venue. The agreement follows extended talks with the Monegasque State, which oversees the facility in Fontvieille.
Club officials described the outcome as a source of significant pride, with one representative saying that playing at Gaston-Médecin carries particular weight for the team and its supporters. The hall has long served as a home for Monaco's sporting community, and securing it removes a logistical obstacle that had threatened to disrupt the club's season.
For fans and residents who follow basketball in the Principality, the confirmation means fixtures will go ahead as expected at a familiar and accessible venue rather than being relocated elsewhere. The resolution also signals continued cooperation between Monaco's sports clubs and state authorities over the use of municipal facilities.
