French Ligue 1 club AS Monaco and international organisation Peace and Sport have agreed a new partnership deal.

As part of its role as an 'exceptional ambassador' for the organisation, AS Monaco will display its logo on the team shirt in every other match.

The new shirt was unveiled by AS Monaco players Freddy Adu and Chu-Young Park at a ceremony in Monaco on Thursday (December 4th).

Club president Jerome de Bontin revealed that an annual gala match commemorating AS Monaco's partnership with Peace and Sport will take place at Louis II Stadium.

He commented: "This partnership brings strong values and is a witness to the unfailing commitment of a strong determination to make sport a genuine vector for reconciliation and fraternity.

"We are proud to unite our colours with those of Peace and Sport so that together, we can spread the message of sustainable peace throughout the world."

Following last weekend's 1-0 victory at Auxerre, Monaco lie tenth in Ligue 1 with 22 points from 16 games.
