Inter Faces Monaco in Pre-Season Friendly on August 8

Monaco, Monaco — Inter Milan is set to face AS Monaco in a pre-season friendly match on Friday, August 8, 2025, at the Stade Louis II. The match is scheduled to kick off at 20:00 CEST and will stream live on DAZN, with a delayed broadcast on Inter TV at 24:00 CEST.

This encounter represents a fierce test for the Nerazzurri, who are looking to build match fitness ahead of their Serie A campaign. Inter comes off a successful 7-2 victory over their Under-23 team, signaling a strong start to their preparation for the upcoming season.

Monaco, meanwhile, arrives unbeaten in pre-season after a series of impressive results, including a 3-1 win over Torino and a 3-0 victory against Arminia Bielefeld. The French side’s Ligue 1 season begins on August 16 at home against Le Havre.

Christian Chivu, Inter’s manager, aims to fine-tune the team’s tactics in this match, similar to their last meeting in the Champions League, which Inter won decisively 3-0 thanks to a hat-trick from Lautaro Martínez. Chivu is keen to see more of that performance against a familiar opponent.

The forthcoming game will also serve as a vital component for both teams in their preparation for the official start of the season. Monaco finished third in Ligue 1 last season and is bolstered by key signings during the current transfer window, including Ansu Fati and Paul Pogba.

Fans attending the game are advised by AS Monaco to purchase tickets through the “neutral spectator” sales channel and to refrain from displaying any signs of allegiance to other clubs.

With storied matchups between the two teams dating back to 1963, this friendly promises to provide both teams an opportunity to gear up for the challenges ahead.
