The Crédit Mutuel Arkéa is proud to announce the identity of the future stadium of the Metropolis of Brest: Arkéa Park. This announcement follows the title partnership made official last July with Gérard and Denis Le Saint, the project's promoters.

Six months after announcing the title partnership, Crédit Mutuel Arkéa is proud and delighted to present the name of the future sports venue: Arkéa Park. For more than 50 years, the banking group has supported Stade Brestois 29 in its sporting development and its national reputation. This naming represents a historic agreement between two local economic players, in the service of a region fundamentally attached to its Breton language and sporting values.

A long-term partnership serving the region and its residents

A symbol of a town and its people, Stade Brestois 29 proudly bears the values of a region and its history. Through a title partnership signed for eight years in line with its strategy as a mutual and cooperative banking group, Crédit Mutuel Arkéa is committed to continuing to support the club in its various sporting initiatives and development projects, and to backing the values of performance, solidarity and commitment that it has embodied for over 70 years.

A recognised player in the development and economic vitality of the region, Crédit Mutuel Arkéa is a meaningful partner for Stade Brestois 29. As the region's 2nd largest employer, with more than 3,500 employees based in Brest and the surrounding area, it also contributes to community life through sponsorship and patronage of the voluntary and cultural sectors. Supporting the responsible development of the local economic fabric is also one of the four major focuses of its strategic plan.

More than a stadium, a new place to live for local residents

Crédit Mutuel Arkéa was also keen to get involved in this project because of its unique, local focus. Gérard and Denis Le Saint, who are behind the project, want to promote local expertise by giving priority to local businesses to help build and operate the stadium. This is a desire shared with the banking group and will result in the creation of 200 jobs in the future.

This new living space, open 365 days a year, at the gateway to the metropolis, will also create a new economic dynamic by offering a range of services and activities, including a nursery, wellness, leisure and catering facilities.
