Monaco United’s women, coached by Marco Simone, have secured promotion to the regional division after overpowering Étoile d’Aubune 16-2 on aggregate, less than a year after the club was formed.

As reported by Nice-Matin, the rise crowns a standout inaugural season. Unbeaten throughout the league, they finished first to reach the play-offs, then won the first leg 10-1 before completing the job away with a 6-1 victory at the weekend.

The decisive tie was approached with confidence and focus on an objective set from the project’s earliest days. Despite tricky conditions, the players imposed themselves from the first minutes. The staff ensured everyone took part on a historic day.

Simone said building a club from nothing and seeing it grow so quickly felt unique. As president-coach, he was delighted to see his side crowned champions and the club step into the regional tier, noting the growing buzz around Monaco United.

He described immense pride and felt few expected their first targets to be met so quickly, crediting the daily work of players, staff and volunteers. Less than a year ago there was everything to assemble, from a squad and on-field understanding to a playing identity and group culture. Over the months they have forged a genuine collective, united by strong values and a widely praised spirit.
