Fortuna Sittard Set to Clash with Belgian Giants KRC Genk

In a highly anticipated friendly match, Fortuna Sittard is set to face off against Belgian top-flight club KRC Genk on Saturday, July 11, 2026. The match, which is scheduled to kick off at 12:00 PM, will be played at Sportpark Op de Hooven in Nederweert-Eind. This encounter has become a staple in the preseason preparations of both clubs. Fortuna Sittard had a decent season last year, finishing 11th in the Eredivisie, and coach Danny Buijs is determined to at least replicate this feat in the upcoming season. The match against KRC Genk will be an important step in achieving this goal. KRC Genk, on the other hand, has been consistently successful over the years, winning four Belgian league titles, five Belgian Cups, and two Belgian Super Cups since 1999. The team, led by coach Nicky Hayen, is seeking revenge after missing out on the championship playoffs last season. This match will provide a unique opportunity for Fortuna Sittard to test their mettle against a top-tier Belgian team. The match will be open to the public, with tickets priced at €5 for adults and €2 for children under 12. The club has also requested that fans from the surrounding area come by bicycle.
