On the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the accession of H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco, a special reception was held at the Embassy of Monaco in Brussels, hosted by Ambassador Frédéric Labarrère.

ACES President Gian Francesco Lupattelli attended the celebration, accompanied by Honorary President Andrey Kovachev and Robert De Vita, President of ACES France.

The event was a valuable opportunity to acknowledge Monaco’s strong commitment to sport, peace, and diplomacy—values that align closely with the mission of ACES.

The presence of ACES representatives was particularly symbolic this year, as Monaco has been designated World Capital of Sport 2025, in recognition of its long-standing dedication to promoting sport, health, and international cooperation through physical activity.

ACES expresses its gratitude to the Principality of Monaco and looks forward to further collaboration in the promotion of sport as a vehicle for positive global change.
