The Roca Team claimed the Pro A championship on Tuesday 23 June, earning personal congratulations from Prince Albert II for their title win.
The Roca Team are French basketball champions for the third time in the club's history, after sealing the Pro A title on Tuesday 23 June in a finish that went to the wire. The triumph drew an immediate response from Prince Albert II, who praised the players' commitment throughout what he acknowledged had been a difficult season off the court.
In his message, the Prince thanked the squad for emotions he described as incomparable, a pointed acknowledgement that this title carried particular weight given the turbulence the club navigated during the campaign. For Monaco residents and the wider Principality, the victory caps a remarkable run for a club that has risen from relative obscurity to become one of French basketball's dominant forces within little more than a decade.
The Roca Team play their home games at the Salle Gaston Médecin in Fontvieille, and the arena is expected to host celebrations in the coming days. It is the club's second championship in four seasons, underlining the stability of a project backed with serious intent from ownership through to coaching staff.
