Members of a rescue, support and research unit near La Possession, after the passage of cyclone Garance which hit the island of Reunion, March 5, 2025.

Nearly 10,000 kilometers and two oceans separate the Francis-Le Blé stadium, in Brest, from the Soune-Seyne stadium, in Saint-André, on the east coast of Reunion. Accustomed to native conferences, the second stays rather more modest than the historic enclosure of the Stade Brestois concerned in Ligue 1. Confusion appears nearly unattainable. However, it’s certainly a photograph of the roof of a stand torn off in Finistère, through the Ciaran storm, on the night time of 1er to November 2, 2023, which was used to help a grant request made by the municipality of Saint-André as a part of a compensation file, following the passage of cyclone Garance in Reunion Island, on February 28, 2025.

In a letter addressed to the mayor of this municipality, Joé Bédier (numerous left), the prefect of La Réunion, Patrice Latron, alerted the elected official, on December 18, 2025, to “obvious anomalies which call into question the sincerity of the statements provided”. Citing requests to be eligible for funds from the post-Garance future pact (2025-2027), Patrice Latron denounces two contentious circumstances, together with that of the Soune-Seyne stadium, within the Cambuston district.
