The Stade Louis II (French pronunciation: [stad(ə) lwi dø], lit. 'Louis II Stadium'), or simply Louis II is a stadium located in the Fontvieille district of Monaco, near the border with Cap-d'Ail commune of France. It serves primarily as a venue for football, being the home of AS Monaco. The stadium is most notable for its distinctive nine arches at the away end of the ground.[2] The arena is also used for the Herculis, a track and field meet of the Diamond League. The stadium hosted the 1986 and 1998–2012 UEFA Super Cup matches.[3] Due to Monaco's small size, the stadium is the only football and athletics stadium in the country.
