Aigle Royal de la Menoua is a professional Cameroonian football club based in Dschang. Established on 1 June 1932, it is a historic pillar of the West Region of Cameroon, representing the cultural heritage of the Menoua Division. After a dominant campaign in the Elite Two where they won the 2024–25 title, the club returned to the top-tier Elite One for the 2025–26 season.

History

While the club has yet to secure a top-flight league title, they finished as runners-up in the 2004–05 season. This performance earned them a debut on the continental stage in the 2006 CAF Champions League, where they were eliminated in the preliminary rounds by Asante Kotoko.

Domestically, the "Rapide de la Menoua" has reached the finals of the Cameroon Cup on two occasions, in 2008 and most recently in 2024, where they finished as runners-up to Colombe Sportive.

Management and Fanbase

Since December 2021, the club has been led by President Gautier Zomissi. Under his leadership, the club has undergone administrative restructuring and seen a significant resurgence in fan engagement and merchandise sales.
