Stadium Information

The Jan Breydelstadion, opened in 1975, is a multifunctional stadium located in Sint-Andries, a suburb of Bruges, Belgium. With a capacity for 29,062 spectators, it is the home of two teams from the Belgian First Division: Club Brugge and Cercle Brugge. The stadium is named after Jan Breydel, a local hero from the 14th century known for his role in the Bruges uprising against the French occupation.

Originally known as Olympiastadion, the stadium was renamed in 1999 in preparation for Euro 2000, a tournament for which it was one of the venues. During this championship, it hosted three group stage matches and a quarter-final between France and Spain, where the French team won 2-1.

The Jan Breydelstadion has witnessed numerous high-profile events, including matches from European club competitions and international games. Furthermore, its vibrant atmosphere during local derbies between Club Brugge and Cercle Brugge is a testament to the football passion of the city.

Despite sharing the same stadium, Club Brugge and Cercle Brugge maintain an intense rivalry, making the Jan Breydelstadion a unique setting where two rival teams coexist and compete at the highest level of Belgian football.
