The Bordeaux-Bègles Union will continue to play well at the Chaban-Delmas stadium.
And not at the Human Stadium, the new name of the Real Estate Exchange.

Sud Ouest.
The boss of the Bordeaux club received an end of inadmissibility during the summer: "It is a few million euros which fly away", he laments.
The renaming project had been causing a lot of talk for several months. The municipality put forward three reasons for its refusal according to Laurent Marti: the municipal council would have voted against, the naming would go to the City and not to the club and it was necessary to make a call for tenders with the risk that another company would pocket the bet. . Explanations that the president of the UBB does not hear. For him, this decision of the ecological mayor Pierre Hurmic is purely "ideological". The opposition Renouveau Bordeaux group Thomas Cazenave “regrets the rejection of this proposal and expects (from the mayor) concrete solutions for the club. "
@PierreHurmic rejects this proposal that we supported and which would have cost nothing to the people of Bordeaux.
It is now up to him to find other solutions to financially support @ UBBrugby.
