The Stade Brestois will be equipped by 2026 with a new 15,000-seat enclosure on an 18-hectare vegetated site located at the gates of Brest, the Ligue 1 club announced on Wednesday March 30. It’s complicated to stay at the highest level and that’s what we’re going to try to do with this new tool. “, assured at a press conference Gérard Le Saint, owner with his brother Denis of the SB29. The envelope, mostly private, is estimated at 85 million euros. Work could begin in 2024, for delivery expected in 2026. To help balance the budget, the stadium should bear the name of a partner. The project provides for an enclosure with a capacity similar to that of the Francis Le Blé stadium, the club’s current cocoon located in the heart of Brest. Inaugurated in 1922 and owned by the city, it no longer meets the standards imposed by the league. Founded in 1950, Stade Brestois joined the elite for the first time in 1979. After experiencing ups and downs, it returned to L1 in 2019 and is currently in 13th place.
