Stade Brestois 29

Stade Brestois 29, commonly known as Brest, was founded in 1950 in the port city of Brest in Brittany, northwestern France. The club competes in Ligue 1 and plays its home matches at the Stade Francis-Le Blé, a compact ground nestled within the city with a capacity of around 15,000 fans. Known as Les Pirates, a name inspired by Brest's rich maritime heritage, the club has experienced several promotions and relegations, embodying the spirit of a working-class community. After years in lower divisions, Brest earned promotion back to Ligue 1 in 2019 and has since established itself as a competitive top-flight side. Their distinctive red-and-white striped jerseys are worn with pride by supporters in one of France's most resilient and historically significant naval cities.
