ASF 2026 Tennis Tournament
AT MCCC - 12,13,14 juin
Already a long-standing tradition and constantly evolving, this weekend combines sport and culture. In June 2026, the Amitié Sans Frontières Monaco tennis tournament will celebrate its 31st anniversary, embodying more than ever the values of respect, fraternity, commitment and openness that underpin the spirit of sport and the mission of ASF: to foster friendship across all borders.
Friday 12 to Sunday 14 June 2026 – Monte-Carlo Country Club
A charity event in Monaco
Organised by Amitié Sans Frontières Monaco since 1996, this event brings together a large number of participants for a tennis tournament and a programme of cultural, scientific and institutional activities. It forms part of a charity initiative in aid of the Monaco Collectif Humanitaire, which provides care in the Principality of Monaco for children suffering from serious illnesses that cannot be treated in their home countries.
Thanks to the generosity of the participants and the event’s charitable initiatives, the 2025 edition of the Monaco Amitié Sans Frontières Tennis Tournament raised €15,000 for the Monaco Collectif Humanitaire, which was used to fund paediatric cardiac surgery for Mia (aged 2, from Burundi) and Fayah (aged 9, from Madagascar).
The Amitié Sans Frontières Monaco charity
The Amitié Sans Frontières charity embodies a spirit of solidarity that transcends geographical, cultural and human boundaries. It is founded on the values of brotherhood, sharing and mutual support. Every initiative undertaken by the charity is part of a broader commitment to solidarity and practical action in support of the most vulnerable.
THE MONACO HUMANITARIAN COLLECTIVE (MCH)
The Monaco Humanitarian Collective is a solidarity initiative bringing together several Monegasque organisations dedicated to providing medical aid to children. It enables children suffering from serious conditions that cannot be treated in their home countries to receive specialised care in the Principality of Monaco.
RENÉ NOVELLA TROPHY Tournament Honour
The tournament pays tribute to the late His Excellency René Novella, a prominent figure in the Principality of Monaco. A senior Monegasque civil servant, former Ambassador of Monaco to Italy and a man of culture, he dedicated his life to public service, cultural diplomacy and dialogue between peoples. The ‘René Novella Challenge’ Trophy is awarded as part of the tournament in tribute to his memory and the values he embodied: respect, fraternity, commitment and openness to the world.
Event program
A weekend dedicated to sport, culture, science and community engagement. Participants will come together with a shared goal: to foster friendship and solidarity across all borders.
This weekend features:
• A tennis tournament at the prestigious Monte-Carlo Country Club

The shared enthusiasm suggests that this year’s event is eagerly anticipated by all participants.
