A decisive match for promotion to Ligue Féminine 2
Currently top in the NF1 league, the MBA sees the match as a crucial step towards their goal of moving up to Ligue Féminine 2. Against the Ambitions Girondines team, which is also a strong contender at the top of the table, every possession and every point will be crucial.
Club president Éric Elena says: “We are extremely proud to be about to play at the Salle Gaston Médecin, the home of Monegasque basketball, for what promises to be a memorable encounter.”
Sport as a means of promoting womens’ rights
As well as the sporting stakes, the match is about an essential cause: women’s rights. At a time when the Principality is stepping up initiatives to combat violence and discrimination against women, the event is a reminder that equality shouldn’t just exist on the playing field. “We want this match to be a moment of celebration, recognition and commitment to equality,” says Éric Elena.
A call for concerted action
The MBA is inviting members of the general public to come out in numbers to support its team and, in doing so, demonstrate their commitment to a fairer and more inclusive society. Admission is free, so everyone can take part in one of the season’s flagship events, both in sporting and social terms. “Sport is a wonderful vehicle for values, and we want to remind people that excellence, determination and pushing limits are not gender-specific,” said the club’s President.
