Genk's major [[association football|football]] club, [[K.R.C. Genk|KRC Genk]], promoted from the second division in 1996 and quickly became one of Belgium's top clubs. They finished first in the [[Belgian Pro League|highest football league]] in 1999, 2002, 2011 and 2019 and won the [[Belgian Cup]] in 1998, 2000, 2009, 2013 and 2021. Because of this success, the ''[[Luminus Arena]]'' (formerly known as ''[[Fenix Stadium]]'' and ''[[Cristal Arena]]'') of KRC Genk (place for 25 500 supporters) has become an important centre of both sport and non-sport activities in recent years. In the 2016–2017 season Genk reached the quarter-finals of the [[UEFA Europa League]] by defeating fellow Belgian side [[K.A.A. Gent]] over two legs, one of which was a 5–2 win.<ref>[http://deredactie.be/cm/vrtnieuws.english/sports/1.2913794 "KRC Genk humiliate AA Gent in Europa League clash"], ''Flanders News''</ref>
