Monaco Basketball Club Loses Spot in French Second Division Due to Financial Crisis

The French National League has announced that AS Monaco will not be allowed to play in the country's second division next season. The club failed to provide the necessary financial guarantees, leading to the exclusion.
Monaco still has the opportunity to appeal the decision, with a response expected by July 20. The team had already decided to withdraw from the EuroLeague for the upcoming season, opting for a spot in the EuroCup instead. The club's long-term goal remains a return to the EuroLeague.
Last season, Monaco won the French championship, defeating Paris in the finals. This marked the club's third league title in its history.
