Jan Breydel Stadium
Jan Breydel Stadium is located in Sint-Andries, Bruges, Belgium. The city-owned stadium is the home of Club Brugge and Cercle Brugge and was built in 1975. It currently has 29,042 seats. It is named after Jan Breydel, an instigator of the Bruges Matins, the insurgency that led to the Battle of the Golden Spurs. Prior to 1999 and the Euro 2000 Championshipthe stadium was known as Olympiastadion which had 18,000 seats. The club’s original home in the Sint-Andries district of Bruges was known as the Rattenplein (rats’ stadium) since it was owned by the local fox terrier club, who used it for another imported English pastime: rat baiting. In 1911, the team moved to a new ground, called De Klokke (after a nearby pub), which was renamed the Albert Dyserynckstadion after the sudden death of Club Brugge chairman Albert Dyserynck. Club Brugge played in this stadium until 1975.
