The upcoming fixture at Francis-Le Blé stadium on 13 September 2026 will carry added significance as the club dedicates the match to Roy’s memory. « The Stade Brestois 29 aims to pay homage worthy of the legacy Éric Roy left in the club’s history and the deep affection held by his family, friends, staff, and the entire Brest community », the club stated in an official announcement.

Initially, the club had planned to organize the tribute during earlier home games. However, logistical challenges—including limited spectator capacity and the closure of the Quimper stand following pyrotechnic incidents—prompted a delay. The PSG clash now provides the ideal setting to celebrate Roy’s contributions both on and off the pitch.
