Guaranteed to play in the European Cup next season, thanks to its fourth place in Ligue 1, Stade Brestois fought for several weeks to ensure that the European matches were played in Brest, in the Francis Le Blé stadium. But unfortunately for the Bretons, this seems impossible given the UEFA regulations. Brest President Denis Le Saint confirmed to the Team that he had stopped all procedures to change this decision. “We stopped the process. We are no longer taking action with the CAS because we have been told that it has little chance of success.”
SB29 must therefore find another stadium for its European matches next year. But where ? The choice will probably be between two cities: Rennes and Guinguamp. “Guingamp is close (around 1h15 journey). But we need to see what updates need to be made. (…) There (in Rennes), there is greater capacity and recent experience in the European Cup. The simplest is Rennes, but with added distance. And for a midweek game, that matters. We are waiting for feedback,” declared the Brestois leader.
