AS Monaco
On Friday 26 March, the football club officially received the keys to the brand new performance centre in La Turbie, after two years and eight months of work.
AS Monaco are one step closer to moving into their new home. Although the building works will not be fully completed until summer 2022, the club has at last received the keys to the main building, which marks a huge milestone in their transition to the new centre. Despite the completion date still being over a year away, much of the building will be in operation way before then. In fact, the first team and staff are scheduled to arrive this summer.
