The CABCL (Rugby) season
Land of rugby par excellence, Brive la Gaillarde is proud to have a Rugby Club that plays among the best national teams. Relegated to Pro D2 for the next season, the supporters imagine the same scenario at the end of the season: joining the elite and the Top 14 as was the case in 2018. On weekends, everyone at the Amédée Domenech stadium to support the Black and White team! Guaranteed atmosphere in the stands, but also on the field where we love to see our beautiful athletes rub shoulders with sometimes formidable opponents.
A historic club
The Brive Athletic Club was created in 1910 from the merger of the Football Club Briviste and the Stade Gaillard. At this time, the 126th Infantry Regiment was transferred from Toulouse to Brive, and included among this unit many athletes who would come to strengthen the current team.
Very quickly the Club will establish its reputation at regional, national and then international level by playing its first game against a Welsh team. Victory is not there but the Corrèze Club is not giving up anything.
Important human values
Integrity, passion, solidarity, discipline and respect are the essential values of rugby. These values were defined in 2009 by the World Rugby federationsThey are recognized in companies for which management has an important place: honesty, sense of belonging, spirit of camaraderie… values that we find at Brive Tourisme!
The CABCL ranking
Success is here! Champion of the Yves du Manoir Trophy in 1996, CABCL has participated in 3 French Cup finals.
The Black and White club can be proud of having even won the European Cup in 1997 against the Leicester Tigers team! A memorable era with names that still resonate in the rugby world: Laurent Travers, a local boy who is now a coach at Racing 92, Alain Penaud, whose son plays for ASM…
A center of excellence
Created 20 years ago, it is an approved training center which welcomes young athletes. Many disciplines are taught there: communication, management, sales, IT, etc., allowing young hopefuls to obtain a recognized diploma while devoting themselves to their favorite sport. We also support players at the end of their careers, to help them think about the future and support them in their choice of professional retraining.
Pratical information
Parking, accessibility, ticketing, we give you all the information!
Where to park next to the rugby stadium?
A stone's throw from the Stadium, on the other side of the Corrèze river, the 3 Provinces park has 254 free places, between the CGR cinema and the Leclerc shopping center. Ideal for accessing the entrance doors on the Avenue Léo Lagrange side.
There are also parking facilities in the two car parks between the ice rink and the bowling alley, or in the small adjacent streets providing access to the stadium, the Derichebourg lounge, where major events, pre- and post-match meals take place, but also to access the lounge (behind the embuts).
Stadium accessibility
Stadium doors usually open 1h30 before the games and on site, you can wait quietly and quench your thirst at the refreshment bar. Same thing at half-time and at the end of the matches, just to "relive the match". Food trucks are also set up around the Stadium, to satisfy small and large appetites.
Where to buy game tickets?
To buy your tickets, get to the official club ticket office. Be careful, some matches are real events and tickets are snapped up within hours of their date being announced! But don't panic, even if the stands are full, you can watch them in "weigh-in" as they say in sports jargon: standing around the pitch, as close as possible to the action.
