AS Monaco is about to face the Armina Bielefeld in a friendly match, the fourth stage of their summer preparation. Coach Adolf Hütter unveiled the official composition of the team for this meeting, which will take place on Saturday 26 July 2025 at 3 pm at the SchücoArena. The Monaco group should evolve with a team including Köhn, Tzeze, Singo, Kehrer (cap.), Ouattara, Minamino, Magassa, Camara, Golovin, Biereth, and Embolo. This composition aroused media interest, including RMC Sport, which presented its own AS Monaco model team during the show “After Foot”, with a list of players emblematic of the club’s history.

In parallel with the preparation of the matches, AS Monaco is confronted with contractual tensions with BeIN SPORTS regarding the broadcasting of the 1+ League. The Qatari group, which has already invested in the project, seems inflexible in its requests, particularly with regard to the payment of royalties. This conflict could potentially delay the launch of Ligue 1+ and affect the distribution of Ligue 1 matches, which is currently managed by Canal+. This raises questions about the financial stability of the project and the ability of LFPMedia, the channel operator, to honour its commitments.

Finally, AS Monaco has undergone a change in its business management. Thibaut Chatelard, Director of Marketing and Revenue, announced his departure via social networks. This announcement came as the club formalized a new partnership extension with one of its sponsors. The arrival of a new employee to ensure business continuity is therefore very likely, in order to maintain the dynamic and financial growth of AS Monaco.
