why Stade Brestois has already hit the jackpot… and hasn’t finished winning money

Brest is hovering in the Champions League and that’s the least we can say. Currently 4th halfway through the classification phase, the Bretons are in the race for an almost unexpected qualification for the final phase! With three wins and a draw, Eric Roy’s players have achieved an impressive run which will have enormous benefits for the club’s finances. Indeed, the Ty’zefs are in the process of amassing a nice jackpot thanks to their exploits and the next four meetings could take them to seventh heaven.

Stade Brestois has already pocketed 18.6 million euros thanks to automatic qualification acquired thanks to third place in the championship last year. Then, we must add 7 million euros for the results over the first four days of C1 (each victory bringing in 2.1 million euros). This already brings the sum to 25.6 million euros, which is guaranteed to end up in the club’s coffers.

45 million euros gain for Stade Brestois?

To this we can add the ranking bonus where the last person receives 275,000 euros. Brest being fourth at the moment, the share amounts to 8.25 million euros and with direct qualification to the round of 16, we can add 11 million euros. If we leave it there, the Breton team will receive nearly 45 million euros in total, not counting TV rights and other possible income.

As a reminder, Brest’s budget last season was 48 million euros and its payroll constitutes around 700,000 euros. This is a real success story for Eric Roy’s players who are not ready to stop there and will try everything to make the fun last, as long as possible, we hope.
