The Stade Louis II, opened in 1985, is the main stadium of AS Monaco FC, located in the Fontvieille district, Monaco. With a capacity of 16,360 spectators, it stands out for its nine distinctive arches at one of its ends, which have become an architectural symbol of the venue.
In addition to hosting football matches, the stadium is home to the Herculis, an athletics meeting of the Diamond League. Between 1998 and 2012, it was the venue for the UEFA Super Cup, attracting fans from around the world.
The sports complex includes underground facilities such as the Salle Gaston Médecin, a multifunctional hall for basketball and other sports, and the Prince Albert II Aquatic Center. Interestingly, the playing field is located 8.35 meters above street level, resting on the roof of a parking garage with a capacity for 1,700 vehicles.
