Brest

The Stade Brestois 29, commonly called Stade Brestois or Brest, represents the football club from the Brittany port city of Brest. Founded in 1950 following the merger of several local clubs, SB29 embodies Breton football passion and pride from a city deeply attached to its team. The Pirates (referencing Brest's maritime history) play at the Stade Francis-Le Blé, a 15,000-capacity venue overlooking Brest harbor offering an exceptional setting.

Stade Brestois history is marked by back-and-forth movements between divisions, the club spending long periods in the second division before establishing themselves durably in Ligue 1 recent years. The 2023-2024 season remains historic with Champions League qualification, an incredible achievement for this provincial club finishing third in the French championship. This exceptional performance propelled Brest onto the European stage for the first time in their history.

Stade Brestois rely on an ambitious and modern project driven by sound management and spectacular play. The club develop their training center to form future Breton talents and perpetuate their attacking identity. The Pirates maintain regional rivalries with Rennes, Lorient, and Guingamp in Breton derbies, encounters mobilizing the entire region. The objective is to maintain themselves durably in French elite and confirm this historic European adventure.
