Monaco United clinch Marenco Cup with 11-0 final rout
By Laurent Duval, MonacoViews Editorial
The newly formed club has completed a remarkable debut season, adding the Marenco Cup to the district championship title already secured this year.
Monaco United rounded off a record-breaking debut season on Thursday by defeating Villeneuve-Loubet 11-0 in the Marenco Cup final, confirming them as the dominant force in their division at the first attempt.
The club, which only came into existence this season, had already wrapped up the district championship before turning their attention to the cup competition. A double in year one is a remarkable achievement for any side, and Monaco United have now set a considerable benchmark for the seasons ahead.
For a Principality whose sporting identity is closely tied to AS Monaco and the Grand Prix, the emergence of a competitive grassroots football club adds another layer to Monaco's sporting life. Whether the club can maintain this form as opponents study them more closely next season will be the story to watch.
