AS Monaco is increasingly likely to have to restart from Nationale 1. Following the CNOSF\u2019s unfavorable opinion, the FFBB rejected the club\u2019s request to urgently reopen the case regarding its participation in the professional leagues.<\/p>\n

Roca Team, coming off a historic quadruple last season, has been excluded from both Betclic \u00c9LITE and \u00c9LITE 2. At this point, the club\u2019s only option would be to appeal to the administrative court, but according to Nice Matin, Monaco\u2019s management is not considering taking that route.<\/p>\n

The most likely scenario is therefore a restart in NM1, the third tier of French basketball. According to BeBasket<\/a>, AS Monaco\u2019s association, which has 455 registered members, is considering taking over the project, with the aim of building a new team featuring some of the club\u2019s young prospects and the two foreign players permitted by the FFBB.<\/p>\n

It would be a stunning setback for Roca Team, just 15 months after coming within touching distance of the European title against Fenerbah\u00e7e.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
