Concarneau and its 20,209 inhabitants will play next season in Ligue 2. A first for this Breton club who composted his ticket for the antechamber of Ligue 1 Friday by winning in Orleans (2-1). A victory that allows the Concarnois to make double blow by winning the National championship. The consecration for USC after having evolved for decades essentially between the 3rd and 4th divisions.
At the final whistle in Orleans, madness took hold of the city of Finistère. Several thousand people had gathered on the Place Jean-Jaurès, transformed into a fan zone, and on which a giant screen had been installed. The party continued late into the night.
In Orleans, too, the celebrations continued. "Les Thoniers", as they are nicknamed, masterfully led by Stéphane Le Mignan, put a very warm atmosphere in the dressing room and in the corridors of the stadium to celebrate this historic day.
The US Concarneau, with a budget of 2.5 million euros, will be able to work on its climb. A big project since the Guy-Piriou stadium (5800 seats), whose renovation has been dragging on for years, will have to undergo major upgrading work to be able to host L2 matches. In the meantime, Concarneau could be hosted in Lorient, Brest or Vannes.
