Stade Brestois 29: 3-year partnership with the Challenge Football Center academy in Dakar (Senegal)

Stade Brestois 29 (Ligue 1 Uber Eats) has entered into a partnership with the Challenge Football Center, an academy in Dakar (Senegal), for a period of three years, with the aim of "generating talent," announced the club on 28/12/2022.

"The academy has a dual project for young people, both academic and sporting, with ideal facilities for them to work well. They have integrated the school within their sports structure. Education is not secondary. We have sent two educators from the club to the site. The best young players will be able to sign a professional trainee contract in Brest," explained Nicolas Mariller, director of the Breton club's training centre.
