Stade Saint-Brieuc
Stade Saint-Brieuc , adjectivally referred to as Stade Briochin in France , is a French football club based in the northern Brieuc town of Saint-Brieuc . His female soccer players were particularly successful .
Club history
The club was founded in 1902, but was not officially accepted into the Union des sociétés françaises de sports athlétiques (USFSA) until 1904 ; therefore it did not celebrate its 100th anniversary until 2004. Before the Second World War it was called the Stade Briochin Université Club for a time .
The club colors are blue and yellow; the briochins are nicknamed les Griffons ("the birds of prey") and have a corresponding animal in the club coat of arms. The club's league teams play their home games at the Stade Fred-Aubert , which was built in 1990 in Parc Municipal and has a capacity of around 13,500 seats.
Women's section
The partially autonomous women's football department of the club was established in 1973 when the company sports women's team of a local company, founded two years earlier - soon after the legalization of women's football by the national association FFF - joined Stade Briochin. Until 1999 their teams played under the name Saint-Brieuc Chaffoteaux Sports , until 2003 as Saint-Brieuc Football Féminin and from 2003 to 2011 as Stade Briochin . In 1989 Saint-Brieuc CS won the French championship and became runner-up in 1992 . In addition, a total of nine trophies for winning the Breton women's cup competition, which was first successful in 1990, are in the club's office. Several national players have emerged from this department , including Saint-Brieuc's record international Françoise Jézéquel (55 A internationals), Sylvie Josset , Isabelle Le Boulch , Ghislaine Baron , Aline Riera Ubiergo , Camille Abily , Eugénie Le Sommer , Clarisse Le Bihan and most recently Griedge Mbock Bathy .
Before the 2011/12 season, this department joined the En Avant club from Guingamp , 30 km away , because they can count on better financial support from the professional club. Her first team has since played under the name En Avant de Guingamp / Ville de Saint-Brieuc in the highest French league; Until 2018, she continued to play her home games at Stade Fred-Aubert in Saint-Brieuc. Since then she has been using the new club training center in Pabu . In Guingamp's Stade du Roudourou , women only have individual, particularly attractive encounters.
Men's soccer
From 1908 Stade Saint-Brieuc belonged to the highest (amateur) league in western France, without being particularly successful. Only after the introduction of professional football in France (1932) did the briochins themselves only play a subordinate role regionally compared to their competitors from Rennes and Saint-Malo . Stade's men only had professional status from 1993 to 1997 when they were in the French second division . In the spring of 1997, the first team was excluded from Division 2 due to high debt and had to resume the following season in CFA2 , the fifth division. There, Saint-Brieuc's men competed for a long time after they were only represented in the d'Honneur division . In 2017/18, however, they are fourth division.
However, in the past , the Griffons reached the main round more frequently in the national cup competition and were among the best 32 teams in France in the early 1920s, late 1930s, between 1956 and 1968, around 1980 and - for the last time so far - in 1995 . Their greatest success was reaching the round of 16 in 1966 , after they had previously eliminated Olympique Marseille , among others . In 2017/18 they reached the main cup again after a long time.
Well-known footballers who played for Stade or worked as coaches include Oscar Muller , Yannick Le Saux (second division top scorer 1993/94), Jean-Pierre Brucato , Robert Malm , Julien Féret , Edvin Murati , Sébastien Maté and Patrice Carteron .
