Quimper Volley 29

What Quimper Volley 29 does

Quimper Volley 29 is a women's volleyball club headquartered at 4 rue Anne Robert Jacques Turgot in Quimper, Finistère, France, operating as a French association (loi 1901) with SIRET 42944360900061 and under the trade name QV29. Founded in 1989, the club runs a professional team currently competing in Division Élite Féminine, the second tier of French women's volleyball, alongside an amateur section spanning youth to senior categories (Pré-nationale and below), and a Centre de Formation Espoir (CFC) providing dual academic-sport support for athletes aged 17-23. It also operates an inclusive Volley Assis (sitting volleyball) section developed with Handisport Quimper Cornouaille, and coordinates social-impact programs with associations such as EPSM de Gourmelen, Temps Partagés, and Les P'tits Doudous.

The commercial platform consists of a standard content-managed website with Weezevent ticketing integration and Google reCAPTCHA protection, complemented by social media channels (Facebook, plus presence on Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok) and the '6e Set' podcast. Home matches are hosted at the Halle des Sports d'Ergué Armel (capacity near 1,000, branded 'Le Chaudron Quimpérois') and, for select fixtures during 2025-2026, at the City of Quimper's modern Kostum Park – À nous la vie facility, with youth and inclusive events held at the Gymnase de La Tourelle.

The business model combines four revenue streams: (1) ticket sales and season subscriptions, with individual tickets priced €9.10–€14 and three subscription tiers ranging €60–€180, plus corporate CSE/Amicale packages offering 20–35% discounts and a €35 premium hospitality tier; (2) partnerships and sponsorships with over 75 local and regional businesses, including named core partners Groupama, Askel, Super U Plogonnec, Guyot Environnement, Crédit Agricole, Maison Cadiou, and Honda; (3) mécénat (tax-deductible patronage, 60% abatement) supporting social missions around inclusion, sport for all, and gender mixity; and (4) licensing fees from amateur volleyball participation. Go-to-market is event-driven, relying on match-day experiences, partner networking events (speed-meetings, afterworks, partner tournaments), and dedicated sales staff (Emma Le Goff, Inès Pétillon, Cédric Boissel) managing the B2B pipeline alongside President Jo Dréau.
