Описание к видео Ghelamco Arena - K.A.A. Gent - The World Stadium Tour

The Ghelamco Arena (also called Arteveldestadion) is a multi-use stadium in Ghent, Belgium.
It hosts the home matches of football club K.A.A. Gent and was officially opened on 17 July 2013, making it the first newly built Belgian football stadium since 1974.
The stadium seats 20,185 and replaced the Jules Ottenstadion, which had been Gent's home since 1920.
On 31 May 2013, a few months before the official opening, it was officially announced that the stadium would be named Ghelamco Arena, after the constructor.
The 30th of June 2023, the contract with Ghelamco concerning the name rights finished.
Starting from the season 2023-24, the name changed in KAA Gent Arena, in attendance of a new name and sponsor.
Koninklijke Atletiek Associatie Gent, often simply known as Ghent or by their nickname De Buffalo's , is a Belgian professional sports club, based in the city of Ghent, East Flanders.
Their football team is the best known section within the club and has been playing in the Belgian First Division A since the 1989–90 season.
They won the national league once, in 2014–15, in addition to four Belgian Cup victories.
Ghent played their home matches in the Jules Ottenstadion in Gentbrugge from 1920 until 2013, when they moved to the Ghelamco Arena.
Their team colours are blue and white.
Gent enjoyed its first spell at the highest level in Belgian football between 1913–14 and 1928–29, and a second one from 1936–37 to 1966–67.
In the 1970s and 1980s, the club had several promotions and relegations between the first and second divisions, before returning to the highest level in 1989.
The club reached the quarter-finals of the 1991–92 UEFA Cup, which is their best achievement ever in European competitions.
KAA Gent have a fierce rivalry with Club Brugge, in what is dubbed as the "Battle of Flanders" in the media as it is between Flanders' two cultural capitals.
There are also many Club Brugge supporters in the city of Ghent due to internal migration from West Flanders to the city, while KAA Gent pride themselves on their local identity.
The nickname that KAA Gent fans give to the Club Brugge fans is the Flemish word "boeren" ("peasants"),[28] mainly because of the agricultural background of West-Flanders but also because of the insolence that Club Brugge fans have displayed in the past.
