Le Havre v AS Monaco: Lineups confirmed for Ligue 1 Matchday 1

AS Monaco will travel to Stade Océane to meet Le Havre in a Ligue 1 2026-27 Matchday 1 fixture on Sunday, August 23, 2026, and both clubs have confirmed their starting XIs and benches.

Monaco arrive after a disappointing 2025-26 campaign that yielded a seventh-place finish; Felipe Luis has replaced Sebastien Pocognoli as manager and the principality club has added signings including Matthis Abline. Le Havre finished 14th last season, narrowly avoiding relegation, and will make their fourth consecutive top-flight appearance while having failed to beat Monaco in their last seven meetings.

Le Havre named Lionel M’Pasi in goal with Fode Doucoure, Vicent Sasso, Ayumu Seko and Timothee Pembele across the back and Yanis Zouaoui also in the defensive group; Simon Ebonog, Junior Mwanga and Rassoul Ndiaye occupy midfield roles with Amir Richardson and Mbwana Samatta leading the attack. The Le Havre bench includes Mory Diaw (gk), Elias Jelert, Enzo Koffi, Djibril Ouziad, Kaito Mizuta, Daren Mosengo, Ismail Bouneb, Josh Maja and Sota Nakamura.

AS Monaco selected Lukas Hradecky as goalkeeper with Vanderson, Sadibou Sane, Eric Dier and Flavio Nazinho in defence; Mamadou Coulibaly, Lamine Camara, Denis Zakaria and Aleksandr Golovin make up the midfield while Stanis Idumbo-Muzambo and Paris Brunner start up front. Monaco’s substitutes are Philipp Kohn (gk), Safouane Benzahra, Mika Biereth, Pape Cabral, Mathys Detourbet, Thilo Kehrer, Oumar Konate, Anis Soubeir and Ilane Toure.

The Matchday 1 fixture is scheduled for Sunday, August 23, 2026, and in India the match will kick off at 8:45 PM IST. The game will take place at the Stade Océane in Le Havre, France.

This fixture opens Monaco and Le Havre’s Ligue 1 2026-27 campaigns and the confirmed lineups set the teams for Matchday 1 action on August 23, 2026.
