AS Monaco's Place in Betclic Élite Likely Secured

31 июля 2026 г.

AS Monaco appears to be on the verge of resolving its precarious situation and securing its spot in the top tier of French basketball. According to reports from L'Équipe, the club's continuation in the league is anticipated to be confirmed this Friday by the FFBB's Appeals Chamber. This decision follows the receipt of the necessary bank guarantees for a proposed takeover led by former NBA player Jamal Mashburn.

While Aleksey Fedoricsev is reportedly stepping down from his involvement, the club will transition to American ownership with Mashburn at the helm. However, there will be an element of continuity within the club's management, as executive director Oleksiy Yefimov will remain on board.

Budget Adjustment Expected

After enjoying one of the highest payrolls in Betclic Élite in recent years, AS Monaco will now operate with a reduced budget of €12.5 million. Despite this financial adjustment, the primary concern for the club has been its survival, avoiding another significant upheaval in French basketball, particularly as ASVEL is currently facing its own challenges.
