About this place
History
The Cegeka Arena was inaugurated in 1999 as the Fenixstadion, replacing KRC Genk’s former stadium. Built to accommodate the club’s growing fan base following its success in the late 1990s, the venue has since undergone several expansions and renovations. In 2021, it was renamed Cegeka Arena after a naming rights agreement with the Belgian IT company Cegeka.
Architecture
The stadium features a modern bowl design with continuous seating that ensures an immersive matchday experience. Its steep stands bring spectators close to the pitch, creating one of the most intimidating atmospheres in Belgian football. Facilities include VIP lounges, press areas, and hospitality suites, all built to meet UEFA standards.
Location
Located in Genk, Limburg province, the Cegeka Arena sits within the city’s sport and leisure district. It is easily accessible by car, with ample parking, and is connected to public transport routes linking it to the city center and surrounding areas.
