The Challenge Prince Rainier III is a domestic football cup in Monaco, featuring teams from across the country.
President of the Organizing Committee, Joseph Destefanis, recalled how the only football game of the year had an air of folklore among the players and of the palace of Monaco.
At the time the teams were completed and at the request of Prince Rainier III, the competition has grown.
The best teams from these groups progress to the knockout rounds of the Challenge Prince Rainier III.
The lower teams from each group then qualify for the knockout stages of the Trophée Ville de Monaco, the second level cup in Monaco underneath the Challenge Prince Rainier III.
