Breton people
Therefore, in May 2012, whereas Stade Breton was on the verge of extinction, its soccer team was taken over by BZH New York, the cultural association of the Breton people settled in New York. Players from both Stade Breton and BZH New York's soccer section started playing in the same team in the Spring 2012 under the name of Stade Brestois New York.
