Ghent is writing its modern history at the Planet Group Arena, a stadium that has become an impregnable fortress and a symbol of the club's financial stability since its opening in 2013. It is precisely this stability that has allowed them to become regular participants in European competitions, where they have held their own against giants like Lyon and Zenit. The crowning achievement of this rise was the historic 2015 Belgian championship title, followed by the Super Cup and four national cup trophies, the last of which came in 2022.

What sets KAA Gent apart on the European soccer map is their top-notch scouting department and the ability to recognize talent where others don't see it. Instead of buying finished stars, the club focuses on young players, providing them with the perfect conditions for development and freedom in their play. The best example of this model is Jonathan David, who arrived at the top of European football via Gent, bringing the club a record-breaking transfer. Today, Gent is synonymous with a modern „springboard“—a place where potential is turned into tangible quality before moving on to the world's top leagues.
