Brest will continue to play at Roudourou

Since its victory against PSV Eindhoven on the last day of the Champions League, Brest already knows that it will at least be able to play in the play-offs and therefore the round of 16. But there remained a question regarding the choice of stadium while Eric Roy's team has been playing at Roudourou since the start of the competition. Indeed, the Guingamp stadium did not meet the specifications for the final phase and Brest had for a time thought about the idea of ​​playing at the Stade de France.

Finally, the Breton club decided to reverse its decision. In a press release, SB29 announced that the team would continue to play at Roudourou. But for this to be possible, major adjustments will have to be made. “Eager to be close to his territory, the decision to continue the club's historic Champions League campaign at the Roudourou stadium appeared obvious to Denis Le Saint. Like the strong demand for the Real Madrid reception at the end of January, the idea, for a time, was to plan at the Stade de France in order to satisfy the greatest number of lovers of the Rouge et Blanc, but also to grow the club to increase its national and international visibility in an environment worthy of the event. But this relocation appears restrictive for all stakeholders, as well as for its most loyal supporters. Following the increasingly demanding specifications of European authorities (new technical installations) the capacity of the stadium will have to be revised downwards with a significant number of seats cut. Despite this, the adventure continues on a Breton land where the hearts of the Brestois vibrate. The club would also like to thank En Avant Guingamp for its welcome and collaboration.explains Brest.
