Stadium Information

The Cegeka Arena, formerly known as Luminus Arena, is a multifunctional stadium located in Genk, Belgium. Inaugurated in 1999, it has a capacity for 23,718 spectators, including 4,200 standing places. It is the home of K.R.C. Genk, one of the most prominent clubs in Belgian football. 

Throughout its history, the stadium has undergone several renovations and name changes due to sponsorship agreements. Originally known as "Fenixstadion", it was renamed "Cristal Arena" in 2007 and "Luminus Arena" in 2016. In 2021, it adopted its current name following a sponsorship agreement with the Belgian IT company Cegeka. 

In addition to hosting K.R.C. Genk's matches, the Cegeka Arena has been the venue for international matches. In 2009, the Belgian national team played two games in this stadium: a friendly against Slovenia and a FIFA World Cup 2010 qualifying match against Bosnia and Herzegovina. Also, in November 2018, Italy faced the United States in a friendly, securing a victory with a goal in the 94th minute. 

In 2016, a partnership was announced between EDF Luminus and K.R.C. Genk to turn the Luminus Arena into Belgium's first CO₂-neutral stadium by 2020, a pioneering initiative in the country. 

For fans and visitors interested in learning more about the stadium and the club, guided tours are available that include access to VIP facilities, press areas, the training field, and the interactive football museum GoalMine. These tours provide a detailed insight into the history and operation of the club.
