If it qualifies for the next Champions League, Stade Brestois is not sure of being able to play its C1 matches in its stadium.
Eric Roy would like to see Real Madrid at Francis-Le Blé next season. But several conditions will have to be met: that Stade Brestois qualifies for the Champions League, of course; that the draw offers him a duel against the Merengues; and also, and almost above all, that the Francis-Le Blé stadium be approved by UEFA.
According to L’Equipe, the Breton enclosure could be challenged: three of the four stands have stands that rest on tubulars, which is prohibited by the UEFA specifications. Questioned on the subject, the mayor suggested that the municipality could make an effort, but not at any cost. “ The questions about Francis-Le Blé show, by A + B, the need to build a new stadium »explains François Cuillandre, who hopes to see a new stadium built in Brest by 2027.
In Rennes or Nantes for the C1?
In the meantime, the Finistère prefecture will not be able to do anything crazy with Francis-Le Blé. “OThere are no plans to redo the stands between now and August… This is not possible and, financially, unimaginable. On a stadium which, in my eyes, is at the end of its life, we are not going to carry out extremely important work because we have to play the European Cup. We will do our utmost, within reason, to ensure that the matches take place at Le Blé. »
Result, if the work imposed by UEFA “ beyond comprehension, Stade Brestois would play its Champions League or Europa League matches in a large neighboring stadium, in Rennes or Nantes.
