Rennes

Roazhon Park is the home of Stade Rennais FC, located at 111 route de Lorient in Rennes, the capital of Brittany in north-western France. The stadium holds 29,778 spectators and has been the club's home since 1912 in various forms, with the current structure representing decades of progressive development and modernisation. Formerly known as the Stade de la Route de Lorient, it was rebranded as Roazhon Park in 2015, with "Roazhon" being the Breton-language name for Rennes - a gesture that reflects the city's strong Celtic and regional cultural identity. The stadium is compact and intimate, generating a loud and passionate atmosphere on matchdays.

Stade Rennais have experienced a significant rise in recent years under the ownership of Francois-Henri Pinault, the luxury goods billionaire behind the Kering Group, who acquired the club in 1998. The club won the Coupe de France in 2019 - their first major trophy - and subsequently qualified for the UEFA Champions League group stage for the first time in 2020, bringing European elite competition to Roazhon Park. The stadium was the backdrop for memorable European nights in Brittany, welcoming clubs including Sevilla, Krasnodar, and Chelsea to the Breton capital. Key players including Ousmane Dembele, who developed at Rennes before his move to Dortmund, reflect the club's talent development credentials.

Roazhon Park's renovation plans have been in development for some years, with an expanded and modernised stadium envisaged to increase capacity and improve the quality of facilities to match the club's growing Champions League profile. The current ground, while modest in capacity, generates a fierce atmosphere reinforced by the Breton cultural identity that characterises Rennais support - Celtic pride, regional distinctiveness, and passionate community football. Rennes's position as a dynamic, culturally vibrant city of 200,000 people provides a strong social base for a club that has established itself as one of Ligue 1's most consistent overachievers.
