Brest has been hit with some bad news: the Quimper stand at the Francis-Le Blé stadium is closed for a match. The LFP disciplinary committee made this decision due to the massive use of pyrotechnic devices during the last home game of the previous season.

What happened?

The decision to close the Quimper stand was made on June 3 by the LFP disciplinary committee. Brest fans are frustrated by this decision, which prevents them from paying tribute to Éric Roy, their former coach who passed away on June 17.

Why does it matter for Brest?

The closure of the Quimper stand is a blow to Brest fans who wanted to pay tribute to Éric Roy during the first home game of the season. Currently, the following players are injured: M. Balde, S. Coulibaly, J. Dina Ebimbe, B. Chardonnet, B. Locko.

What's next?

Brest will not regain its full capacity until the 4th matchday, against PSG. Brest fans are determined to pay tribute to Éric Roy despite the closure of the Quimper stand. They will deploy a large tifo in his honor during the first home game of the season.
