Sports and leisure activities Bègles

In 2006, Stade Bordelais (Pro D2) and Club Athlétique Béglais (Fédérale 1), which won two French Championship titles in 1969 and 1991, merged to form Union Stade Bordeaux CA Bordelais Bègles. Under the impetus of its new president, Laurent Marti, the club became Union Bordeaux Bègles (UBB) in May 2008, in order to offer a great club to our rugby land. After years in Pro D2 (2006-2011), spurred on by an all-consuming enthusiasm, almost flawless talent and a passionate public, UBB made its return to the Top 14. By the end of the 2014-2015 season, UBB had overtaken the legendary English club Saracens to become, no less, the biggest crowd in Europe, with an average of 27,000 fans per match. For the first time in its history, UBB qualifies for the European Rugby Champions Cup for the 2015-2016 season. Renowned for its resolutely attacking game, Union Bordeaux Bègles continues to progress, attracting some of the biggest names in world rugby, including Australians Adam Ashley-Cooper and Sekope Kepu, former Auckland Blues captain Luke Braid, and French internationals Sofiane Guitoune, Lionel Beauxis, Jean-Marcellin Buttin and Loann Goujon. According to the rankings initiated by the Ligue Nationale de Rugby in January 2019, Union Bordeaux Bègles has the second-best French training center among Top 14 clubs. Created in 1999, the UBB Training Center is located within the Stade André Moga (in Bègles, of course).
