Aigle Royal de la Menoua is a professional Cameroonian football club based in Dschang. Established on 1 June 1932, it is a historic pillar of the West Region of Cameroon, representing the cultural heritage of the Menoua Division. After a dominant campaign in the Elite Two where they won the 2024–25 title, the club returned to the top-tier Elite One for the 2025–26 season.
History

Domestically, the "Rapide de la Menoua" has reached the finals of the Cameroon Cup on two occasions, in 2008 and most recently in 2024, where they finished as runners-up to Colombe Sportive.
