Three months after his passing, the club has chosen the high-profile fixture against PSG to celebrate his legacy. « The Stade Brestois 29 wishes this tribute to reflect the lasting impact Éric Roy had on the club, the affection his family, friends, and supporters hold for him, and the deep connection he forged with the entire Brest community », reads the club’s official statement.

Initially, the club had intended to host the tribute during earlier home games. However, scheduling constraints during the preparation matches made it impossible to gather fans under the desired conditions. Additionally, the Quimper stand will remain closed for the upcoming game against Toulouse FC due to sanctions tied to « widespread use of pyrotechnics ». As a result, the club has opted to postpone the homage until the arrival of the Parisian giants at Francis-Le Blé.
