How Does AS Monaco's Renault 4 Logo Comply with UEFA's 200cm² Sponsor Size Rules?
- Logo Size Discrepancy: AS Monaco's Renault 4 logo appears larger than other UEFA Champions League teams' sponsors, despite the 200cm² maximum area regulation.
- Measurement Methodology: UEFA measures Monaco's hexagonal logo by its actual filled shape, excluding negative space, unlike rectangular logos which are measured by their bounding box.
- Compliance Uncertainty: It is uncertain whether the logo genuinely complies with UEFA regulations, or if the enforcement has been inconsistent.
AS Monaco's Renault 4 hexagonal sponsor logo appears significantly larger than other UEFA Champions League teams' chest sponsors, raising questions about compliance with the competition's 200cm² maximum area regulation.
Monaco's Logo is Measured as a Hexagon - No Wasted Space
Monaco's logo appears significantly larger than Bayern's and all other teams, even though the same rules apply.
While FC Barcelona's sponsor is notably smaller (much more would be permitted, as only the area of the circle is counted) and Bayern Munich's Telekom logo appears more comparably sized, Monaco's distinctive hexagon-shaped Renault branding dominates the jersey chest in a way that seems disproportionate to other clubs.
FC Barcelona & Spotify Do Not Use Maximum Sponsor Size By Far
The most likely explanation lies in how UEFA measures sponsor logo areas for different geometric shapes. The Telekom logo on Bayern's shirts, despite appearing similar in size, is calculated using a standard rectangular bounding box formula that includes all negative space within the logo's outer dimensions. In contrast, Monaco's hexagonal Renault 4 logo only has the actual filled hexagon shape measured, excluding the corners that would be included if measured as a square or rectangle.
This measurement methodology could allow Monaco's visually larger hexagon to technically comply with the 200cm² limit while appearing more prominent than rectangular or square logos of the same official area. The hexagon shape is more space-efficient when measured by actual logo area rather than bounding box dimensions, potentially giving Monaco a visual advantage while remaining within regulations.
However, uncertainty remains about whether the logo genuinely complies or if UEFA's enforcement has been inconsistent. The stark visual difference between Monaco's sponsor size and comparable clubs like Bayern suggests either advantageous measurement interpretation or potential regulatory oversight worth examination.
Also, for Premier League teams, UEFA is always very keen that they change their kit to comply with the 200cm² in UEFA competitions. The Premier League allows slightly bigger logos, 250cm², so Premier League teams have slightly larger sponsor logos in the EPL.

Fans Bring Out Chairs to Honor David Alaba in Emotional Bernabéu Farewell
Real Madrid defender David Alaba was given an emotional send-off by fans at the Santiago Bernabéu during his final home match for the club.

Alaba, aged 33, will leave the club at the end of the 2025-26 season when his contract expires. He has made more than 130 appearances for Real Madrid across five years and collected 11 major trophies, including two La Liga titles and two Champions Leagues.
The chair tribute stems from Alaba spontaneously grabbing and waving a stadium seat in wild celebration during that memorable 2022 night at the Bernabéu, turning the gesture into one of his most recognizable moments with the club.
