Monaco history
AS Monaco is based in Fontvieille, in the principality of Monaco rather than in France. Because the country is so small, the club belongs to the French Football Federation and plays in Ligue 1. Its training center is across the border in La Turbie, France. The team's history dates back to 1918.
Not being French has not held it back. Monaco sits among the top winners in the French game, with eight league titles, five Coupes de France and one Coupe de la Ligue. In Europe it reached two finals and lost both: the 1992 Cup Winners' Cup and the 2004 Champions League. Red and white are the traditional colors, hence the nickname Les Rouge et Blanc, The Red and Whites. The club also belongs to the European Club Association, and since December 2011 the majority owner has been Russian billionaire Dmitry Rybolovlev.
