The arrival of Youcef Belaïli explodes the club’s social networks

It is not yet known whether he will shine on the pitch. The arrival of Youcef Belaïli is in any case already a big deal for Stade Brestois. In the last hours of the transfer window on Monday, the Algerian attacking midfielder, free since the termination of his contract with Qatar SC, signed up for six months with the Breton club, which was looking for a successor to Romain Faivre who left for Lyon.

As soon as the signing was announced, the social networks of Stade Brestois were carried away. With nearly 3 million subscribers to his Instagram account, Youcef Belaïli, a real star in his country, has a huge fan base. And to continue to follow his exploits, many of them have tumbled in recent hours on the social networks of Ty Zef.

Brest ahead of Rennes and Nantes on Facebook

Before his arrival, the club’s Facebook page had 144,000 subscribers. It now exceeds 650,000 subscribers, better than the neighbors of Stade Rennais and FC Nantes. Ditto on the Instagram account which went at lightning speed from 79,000 to 267,000 subscribers.

All networks combined, Stade Brestois crossed the symbolic bar of one million subscribers on Tuesday. “Thank you to all … and to Youcef”, reacted the club, not unhappy with the buzz triggered by its new recruit.
