Peace and Sport, charity partner of AS Monaco in the Europa League
AS Monaco and Peace and Sport are pleased to announce their partnership. This season, the international organization which uses sport as an instrument of peace in the world, will appear on the back of the jersey of the Red & Whites in the European Cup
When they enter the Europa League this Thursday, September 8, the Rock players will be accompanied on the field by Peace and Sport. The international organization, which celebrates its fifteenth anniversary this year, will indeed be visible on the back of Philippe Clément’s men’s jersey during their European matches this season.
Mamadou Coulibaly Ambassador “Junior Champion for Peace”
AS Monaco thus intends to promote Peace and Sport and its values to the four parts of Europe, during a campaign that it wishes to be as long as possible; and take advantage of the possibility offered by UEFA to highlight a charity organization on the shirt of clubs involved in the European Cup, in addition to the two commercial sponsors authorized to appear on the front (eToro) and the sleeve ( interim triangle).
In addition, various awareness-raising actions will be adapted to the Academy for young Monegasque players. A symbol of the desire of the two entities to move forward hand in hand, Mamadou Coulibaly, a member of the Elite group who signed his first professional contract in May, was named “Champion for Peace Junior” ambassador by Peace and Sport and appointed the values shared by the international organization and its training club.
Happy #InternationalYouthDay!🎉

A historical link with the international organization
AS Monaco will also take part in certain Peace and Sport operations, such as its annual International Forum, and will be involved in the organization’s field programs. Finally, the Rocher club and the international organization will create synergies in parallel with the availability of their resources, their networks, as well as their communication platforms.
This association between AS Monaco and Peace and Sport is not new. During the 2008-2009 season, François Modesto, Diego Perez, Alejandro Alonso, Nicolas Nkoulou, Chu-Young Park and their teammates had already sported the Peace and Sport logo on the diagonal chest of the shirt. Since then, the two entities have regularly collaborated together.
Peace and Sport is a benchmark international organization, whose values of tolerance and fraternity we share, as well as the conviction that sport is an extraordinary tool for development and peace.
General Manager of AS Monaco
Joël Bouzou, President and Founder of Peace and Sport: “Through this partnership, AS Monaco confirms its commitment to using sport as a tool for lasting peace alongside us. By wearing this jersey with the Peace and Sport logo, the players will become agents of change and will promote, from the neutrality of the Principality of Monaco, the unifying values of sport. Like AS Monaco, we are convinced that football acts as a universal language that has the ability to transcend barriers and bring communities together. We are therefore very happy to associate ourselves once again with this Club committed to the use of sport for peace. »
Jean-Emmanuel de Witt, General Manager of AS Monaco: “We are pleased to strengthen our link with Peace and Sport, fourteen years after the first collaboration between our two entities. Peace and Sport is a benchmark international organization, whose values of tolerance and fraternity we share, as well as the conviction that sport is an extraordinary tool for development and peace. It is therefore a source of pride to be able to join forces between the Monegasque institutions and to allow Peace and Sport to benefit from our sounding board during our European campaign. »
