Away fans’ guide to Monaco: Key information for Tottenham fans

Tottenham's Champions League campaign has gotten off to an excellent start, with Thomas Frank's side picking up four points from a possible six so far.

Next up for Spurs in their pursuit of another European trophy is a trip to France to take on Monaco at the Stade Louis II.

Considering Spurs finished 17th in the Premier League last season, the opportunity to travel and watch their team in Europe this season is one that many Spurs fans are keen to make the most of.

If you are a Tottenham fan heading to Monaco for the match, here is everything you need to know.

How many Tottenham fans are going to Monaco?

Manchester City have been given an allocation of just 998 tickets for the match against Monaco, and these tickets have all sold out. This will be one of the smallest allocations that the club will receive in Europe this season, as the Stade Louis II has a modest capacity of just 18,500.

As Monaco is such a stunning city and somewhere that is easy and cheap to get to from the United Kingdom, it is expected that there will also be Tottenham fans there without tickets.

Where will Tottenham fans sit at the Stade Louis II?

The away section at the Stade Louis II is located behind the southern goal, on the left-hand side of the Populaires Stand. The right-hand side of the stand is used by home supporters, which should make for a tasty atmosphere.

Although the stadium is small, the running track that wraps around the perimeter of the pitch means that the view from the away end is far from ideal, especially when the action is all at the opposite end. One positive is that there is no Perspex glass or netting in front of the away end at the Stade Louis II.

• La Rascasse – 1 Quai Antoine 1er, 98000 Monaco

How to get to the Stade Louis II: Guide for Tottenham fans in Monaco

Tottenham fans staying in the centre of Monaco won't have to worry about public transport when it comes to getting to the stadium, as it's just a 15-minute walk from the most central point of the city. For those who prefer or need public transportation, buses four, six and 100 are regular services that drop fans off right outside the stadium.

Any fans staying outside of Monaco will need to get on a train on the Cannes-Nice-Ventimiglia line. Depart the train at Monaco Monte Carlo Station and then take the 15-minute walk to the Stade Louis II.
