Monaco hosts two major football teams in the principality: the men's football club, [[AS Monaco FC]], and the women's football club, OS Monaco. AS Monaco plays at the [[Stade Louis II]] and competes in [[Ligue 1]], the first division of [[French football]]. The club is historically one of the most successful clubs in the French league, having won Ligue 1 eight times (most recently in [[2016–17 Ligue 1|2016–17]]) and competed at the top level for all but six seasons since 1953. The club reached the [[2004 UEFA Champions League Final]], with a team that included [[Dado Pršo]], [[Fernando Morientes]], [[Jérôme Rothen]], [[Akis Zikos]] and [[Ludovic Giuly]], but lost 3–0 to Portuguese team [[FC Porto]]. French World Cup-winners [[Thierry Henry]], [[Fabien Barthez]], [[David Trezeguet]], and [[Kylian Mbappe]] have played for the club. The Stade Louis II also played host to the annual [[UEFA Super Cup]] from 1998 to 2012 between the winners of the [[UEFA Champions League]] and the [[UEFA Europa League]].

The women's team, OS Monaco, competes in the women's [[French football league system]]. The club plays in the local regional league, deep down in the league system. It once played in the [[Division 1 Féminine]], in the 1994–95 season, but was quickly relegated.{{cn|date=January 2025}}

The [[Monaco national football team]] represents the nation in [[association football]] and is controlled by the [[Monégasque Football Federation]], the governing body for [[football in Monaco]]. Monaco is one of two sovereign states in Europe (along with the [[Vatican City]]) that is not a member of [[UEFA]] and so does not take part in any [[UEFA European Football Championship]] or [[FIFA World Cup]] competitions. They are instead affiliated with [[CONIFA]], where they compete against other national teams that are not FIFA members. The team plays its home matches in the Stade Louis II.
