Union Saint-Gilloise against GNK Gênk in Champions League

In January 2023, an offensive group left its training club to join the KRC Genk, after a season and a half spent in Limburg. He then returned to Brussels, but under the colours of the Union Saint-Gilloise, where he has since played 48 matches in all competitions, with six goals and eight assists. His friend Bassim Akasrri, in an interview, stressed the difficulty for the player to turn the page after his departure from Anderlecht, a club he still respects deeply. Akasrri remembers the emotion of the player when he announced his departure, a departure which, although difficult to live, served as a motivation to work more and continue to progress.

Recent agreements have been concluded on football rights in Belgium. After the RTBF, the VRT has now reached an agreement with DAZN, the rights holder, for the use of match images on the website and the Spoza app. The videos will be available every Sunday night. DAZN expresses its satisfaction at being able to offer privileged access to the images of Belgian football to a wide audience, while continuing to collaborate with important personalities such as Peter Vandenbempt and Tess Elsst, who were previously less present on DAZN.

Union Saint-Gilloise prepares to face KRC Genk, a formidable and current 10th-placed opponent, as part of a Champions League match. Genk has already inflicted on the Union his last championship defeat in the classic phase of the previous season. Despite a recent defeat against Charleroi, Genk is considered a team in good shape and capable of reacting. The Union Saint-Gilloise celebrates its first victory in the Champions League, a performance expected by its supporters and confirming the quality of its team, according to the words relayed by Het Laatste Nieuws.
