A stronghold of French rugby and a reference club in the Top 14 since 2011, Union Bordeaux-Bègles (UBB) has enjoyed the support of Crédit Mutuel Arkéa since 2018.
As a major partner of UBB, Crédit Mutuel Arkéa renewed its commitment in 2023 for five more seasons. The continuation of this partnership reflects the group's desire to support ambitious and large-scale sports projects over the long term in its territories.
UBB, a historic club that unites
The fusion of two clubs from the Bordeaux region, UBB represents over 100 years of history and boasts 9 French championship titles. In 2006, the leaders of Stade Bordelais and Club Athlétique Bordeaux Bègles Gironde (CABBG) decided to come together to form a union, which became Union Bordeaux Bègles in 2008 under the leadership of the new and current president Laurent Marti.
A rugby stronghold, the Bordeaux club unites and energizes its region with significant public interest since its arrival in the Top 14 in 2011. The club breaks attendance records and has the largest fan base in France at the legendary "magic cauldron": Stade Chaban Delmas.
"Being toghether makes us stronger"
As a major sponsor since 2018, Crédit Mutuel Arkéa has extended its partnership with UBB until 2028. This renewal demonstrates the group's commitment to supporting the ambitions of Union Bordeaux Bègles sustainably. Its values of solidarity, respect, a fighting spirit, and strong teamwork resonate with the group's values.
Crédit Mutuel Arkéa and UBB share a vision that places team spirit and mutual support at the heart of their actions. The group's commitment goes beyond financial support to a true involvement in the life of the club and its supporters. This support helps promote sport as a tool for social cohesion and revitalization of the Bordeaux area.
Solidarity, a key value of UBB, is also reflected in the initiatives of Crédit Mutuel Arkéa, which works towards economic and social development. This partnership also reflects a shared desire to promote a sustainable future by highlighting responsible and environmentally friendly practices.
This support from the group strengthens the role of these two entities as pillars of the region, contributing to its influence and dynamism. Through this alliance, Crédit Mutuel Arkéa and Union Bordeaux Bègles demonstrate that sports performance and social responsibility can go hand in hand, offering an inspiring collaboration model for the entire community.
