The Stade Francis-Le Blé is a football stadium in the French port city of Brest , Finistère department in Brittany . The Breton club Stade Brest has its sporting home here.

history

The stadium was opened in 1922 under the name Stade de l'Armoricaine with 1,800 seats. Due to the success of Stade Brest in the early 1980s , the city added a grandstand to the stadium. This grandstand was opened in the summer of 1982 with 10,002 seats (5,746 of which were seated). In addition, the venue was given its current name, named after the former mayor of Brest Francis Le Blé . The largest number of spectators with 21,619 visitors was on August 6, 1986 at the game Stade Brest against Olympique Marseille (0-0) in the stadium.

Due to the complete conversion into seats, the capacity of the arena was reduced to 10,228 seats. In 2004 Stade Brest rose to Ligue 2 . In order to meet the requirements of the French league association and UEFA , plans were made to build a new stadium in Guipavas , about ten kilometers northeast of Brest. But this could not be implemented. On October 30, club president Michel Guyot announced that the stadium would be expanded after the end of the 2009/10 season.
