Triumphant return for Stade Brestois. Qualified for the next Champions League thanks to their 0-3 success on the pitch in Toulouse on Monday for the 34th and final day of Ligue 1, Eric Roy’s men were welcomed as heroes by their supporters at Brest airport -Brittany, Monday.
Videos filmed on site show the Bretons making their way through a guard of honor, in the middle of a cheering crowd. “Olélé, olala, but what happened, we are in the LDC,” sang the supporters. A welcome worthy of the feat: the Breton club, 3rd in this 2023-2024 financial year behind Monaco and PSG, will compete in the C1 for the first time in its history. On Sunday, the mayor (PS) of the city, François Cuillandre, announced that Stade Brestois would probably play its European matches in Guingamp, at the Roudourou stadium, the Francis-Le Blé stadium in Brest not having been approved by the UEFA.
