Monaco celebrates its 50th anniversary! Lausanne – 5 November 2007  At the end of October the Archery Federation of Monaco celebrated his 50th anniversary and was honoured with the presence of H.S.H Prince Albert II of Monaco.   H.S.H. Prince Albert could appreciate an exhibition from the young archers before taking part in the official ceremony. He received a commemorative plaquette with illustrations of his archery experience. The last one, but not the least, was a small session last year with the Olympic Champion 1992, Sébastien Flûte (FRA).   Taking advantage of the superb premises of the Shooting Federation of Monaco offered by its President, Mr. Zabaldano, the 1st Compagnie of Archery in Monaco has successfully represented the Principality nationally and internationally since 1957. the next challenge for its President, Mr Revelli, and Vice-President, Mrs Costa, will be to organize the 7th International Archery Tournament for the Small States. Monaco will host Cyprus, Malta, San Marino, Luxembourg and Liechtenstein. The archer in Monaco could target as well participation at the Mediterranean Games in 2009.   These events could lead to the most spectacular archery competition, the World Cup Final 2010 or 2011, for which the International Archery Federation has officially launched a bidding process.   Didier Miéville FITA Communication
