Rennes history
Stade Rennais, Stad Roazhon in Breton, was founded in 1901 and helped start the first division of French football. The home colors have never changed: red, black and white. The current name was adopted after the 1971 Coupe de France win. Rennes and Nantes are the region's leading clubs and the main sides in the Derby Breton.
The best league finish is third, reached when the 2019-20 season stopped early. Coupe de France wins came in 1965, 1971 and 2019. The youth system, the Henri Guérin Training Centre, opened in 2000, and in 2010 the French Football Federation named it the best academy in France. Its under-19 team has lifted the Coupe Gambardella in 1973, 2003, 2008 and 2025, and graduates include Ousmane Dembélé and Yacine Brahimi. Olivier Cloarec serves as president, and the club is owned by Artémis, François Pinault's holding company.
