Monaco is set to host the 5th anniversary of the Fight AIDS Monaco Cup on January 22, 2025, at the iconic Stade Louis II.

This milestone event continues the proud tradition of raising awareness and funds to combat HIV and AIDS while uniting athletes, celebrities, royals, and the wider community for a common cause.

The Fight AIDS Monaco Cup, established in 2020 under the patronage of H.S.H. Princess Stéphanie of Monaco, supports the efforts of Fight Aids Monaco, a nonprofit organization she founded in 2004. The charity is dedicated to improving the lives of people living with HIV, promoting education and prevention, and combating stigma associated with the disease.

This year’s event promises another thrilling matchup between two symbolic teams: the Barbagiuans, representing Prince Albert II, and the Circus FC, championed by Princess Stéphanie. Over the years, these teams have included prominent figures from the worlds of football, entertainment, and the principality’s social elite.

Expected participants for the 2025 match include former football legends, beloved local celebrities, and notable supporters of Fight Aids Monaco. Fans can anticipate electrifying performances on the pitch alongside a celebration of camaraderie and philanthropy.

The Fight AIDS Monaco Cup is more than just a football game—it’s a platform for advocacy and solidarity. Over the past five years, the event has contributed significantly to raising funds that provide essential services such as counseling, medical assistance, and social support for those living with HIV. It also plays a pivotal role in fostering public dialogue and dismantling misconceptions about the condition.

Over its five-year history, the Fight AIDS Monaco Cup has become a hallmark of philanthropy and sportsmanship in the Principality. Princess Stéphanie’s unwavering commitment to the cause has inspired countless individuals to join the fight against HIV and AIDS.

As the event celebrates its 5th anniversary, it stands as a testament to the power of collective action in addressing global health challenges.

The Fight AIDS Monaco Cup on January 22, 2025 at 17h30, is poised to be a momentous occasion, bringing together people from all walks of life for a memorable evening of sport, compassion, and hope.

Tickets are now available, and proceeds will directly benefit the life-changing initiatives of Fight Aids Monaco.
