The Jan Breydel Stadium ( Dutch Jan Breydelstadion , French Stade Jan Breydel ) is a football stadium in the Belgian city ​​of Bruges , West Flanders Province .

history

The Jan Breydel Stadium ( Olympic Stadium until 1998 ) was built in 1975 and is the home stadium of city rivals Club Bruges and Cercle Bruges , who rent the stadium from the City of Bruges. The stadium initially offered space for 30,000 spectators (including 8,000 seats) until 1993, when most of the standing space was replaced by seats, which reduced the capacity to 18,000.

In 1998 the Olympic Stadium was selected for the 2000 European Football Championship . Therefore, with the support of the Flemish Community and the Belgian government , the stadium was expanded to 30,000 seats. One of the prerequisites for support was that the Olympic Stadium should be renamed the Jan Breydel Stadium as a tribute to Jan Breydel , a leader of the Bruges early mass against the French King Philip IV the Handsome at the beginning of the 14th century .
