Crédit Mutuel Arkéa is proud to announce the renewal of its partnership with Rugby Club Vannes. At the dawn of the 2024-2025 season, marking the first historic participation of a Breton club in the prestigious French rugby championship, the Top 14, the territorial cooperative banking group has wished to continue its support for RC Vannes in order to accompany them in their new challenges. The extension of this collaboration values the links and mutual trust that have united Crédit Mutuel Arkéa and Rugby Club Vannes for several years.

As a premium partner since 2021, Crédit Mutuel Arkéa shares with Rugby Club Vannes values of solidarity, collective commitment, and proximity. Together, they approach this new season with ambition and determination, ready to face the greatest French rugby clubs and to proudly represent Brittany in the Top 14. This partnership goes far beyond mere sporting support, it is part of a regional development dynamic, bringing together more than 400 private and institutional partners and a loyal audience (the top in Pro D2) around a common project, to which, as a territorial cooperative bank, Crédit Mutuel Arkéa is particularly proud to associate itself with.

The extension of the partnership is materialized by the presence of the Crédit Mutuel Arkéa logo on the players' equipment, particularly on the upper chest, next to the heart, under the RC Vannes logo.
During the first match of the season, on Sunday, September 8 at 9:05 p.m., between Rugby Club Vannes and Stade Toulousain, Yoann Richomme, skipper of the IMOCA Paprec Arkéa, who will start the Vendée Globe on November 10, will be present in the stands to support the Breton club. Since last season, the skipper and the players have forged real bonds and support each other in each of their major events.

"We are very proud to renew our partnership with RC Vannes and to continue to support the club for its very first season in its history in the Top 14. The strength of the team and the fighting spirit they showed last season allowed us to experience and share unique moments. At the dawn of this new season, we are convinced that RC Vannes will contribute to shining a light on our territory."

-Julien Carmona, President of Crédit Mutuel Arkéa-

"We are extremely proud that Crédit Mutuel Arkéa shows its loyalty by extending its contract as a Premium Partner. From now on, the players will wear the brand's logo, next to their hearts, on their match jerseys and will strive to be inspired by it to achieve their goals. We continue to build a real territorial project to ensure, together, the sustainability of Breton rugby at the highest national level."

-Olivier Cloarec, President of Rugby Club Vannes-
