Champions Promenade: Take a Stroll Through Monaco with Zidane, Totti and Pelé

Champions Promenade La Costa Properties Monaco

Overlooked by some of the most luxurious property in Monaco, The Champions Promenade is the only destination for football pilgrims from all over the world. Surely such an illustrious homage to such a vast collection of footballing legends exists nowhere else on the planet. 71 of the best players to have played the game are celebrated along a stretch of Monaco’s coast, with golden plaques garnishing the scenic stretch of pavement. 

The award itself, The Golden Foot, is awarded to one player each year to honour great achievement both on and off the pitch. Players must be at least 28 years of age to qualify for the award, which can only be awarded to a player once. In addition to selecting one player each year, the voting committee – which is formed by online voters – also selects a few footballing legends to honour.

With UEFA EURO 2016 kicking off on June 10th in France, The Champions Promenade will surely prove to be a popular attraction for those visiting the Principality of Monaco.
