The Monaco national football team represents Monaco in association football and is controlled by the Monegasque Football Federation, the governing body for football in Monaco. The current manager is Thierry Petit.

Monaco is not a member of the UEFA and does not participate in any of their international tournaments. They were members of the NF-Board, which organizes matches for unrecognized national teams, and have accepted an invitation to take part in the inaugural VIVA World Cup. In that competition Monaco finished second, after losing 21–1 to Sápmi in the final. Monaco left the NF-Board organisation in 2010.

Monaco does, however, have a highly successful club team, AS Monaco FC, staffed almost entirely by non-Monegasque footballers. They used to play in the French Ligue 1 for over thirty years. However, they finished 18th in the 2010–11 season and thus were relegated to the Ligue 2.
