Roca Team celebrates title with fans at Gaston-Médecin
By Zak Jackson, MonacoViews Editorial
AS Monaco Basket brought their French championship trophy back to the Salle Gaston-Médecin on Wednesday for a celebration evening with season-ticket holders.
Twenty-four hours after clinching the Pro A title in Paris, the Roca Team returned home to share the moment with the supporters who had backed them through what the club is calling its most historic season. The Salle Gaston-Médecin hosted the gathering on Wednesday evening, giving season-ticket holders a first chance to see the championship trophy up close.
The event was framed as a thank-you to the club's most loyal fans rather than a public parade, reflecting the tight-knit relationship between the squad and its core support base. Players addressed the crowd directly, underlining how much the backing from inside Gaston-Médecin had counted during the run to the title.
The French championship adds to a period of sustained success for AS Monaco's basketball operation, which has grown considerably in profile and ambition over recent seasons. For residents and supporters in the Principality, Wednesday's celebration marked a rare opportunity to mark a domestic title win in person, on home ground.
