Monaco officially appeals to the CNOSF as Jamal Mashburn takeover plan gains momentum

AS Monaco Basket has formally launched its appeal to regain its place in the Betclic ELITE, while the takeover project led by former NBA star Jamal Mashburn continues to make significant progress.

AS Monaco Basket has officially filed an appeal with the French National Olympic and Sports Committee (CNOSF) in an effort to be reinstated in the 2026-27 Betclic ELITE.

According to Nice-Matin, the move follows major progress in the club’s takeover project led by former NBA star Jamal Mashburn, with recent discussions also involving the Monaco government.

Monaco had announced on August 10 that it intended to appeal, but chose to use the time available until August 18 to finalize its rescue plan. The club had initially targeted August 14 to reach a breakthrough, but the latest developments prompted an earlier-than-expected filing.

The appeal comes after the DNCCG refused Monaco’s registration for the 2026-27 French top-flight season, a decision that was later upheld by the French Basketball Federation’s Appeals Chamber (FFBB).

The CNOSF will now review Monaco’s case and its proposed ownership plan as the Roca Team fights to secure its place in the Betclic ELITE for next season.
