So Who The Hell Are RC Genk?

When Chelsea drew RC Genk in the Champions League group stages you would be forgiven for asking who are RC Genk?

Well FamousCFC.com have been doing research to tell you all about RC Genk.

RC Genk

Formed relatively recently in the football world (1988)Racing Genk are the Belgian League champions and overcame FK Partizan and Maccabi Haifa to qualify for the Champions League group stages for the second time in their history.

They qualified for the Champions League group stages by defeating Maccabi Haifa in a dramatic penalty shootout in the final qualifying round with goalkeeper László Köteles the hero.

Managed by former Dutch international Mario Been the Belgian champions have struggled in the group so far picking up just one point in three games.

For the away leg Chelsea will travel to the Cristal Arena, which is a small venue holding only 24,000 fans which is the equivalent to the average Championship ground.

This means we will only have an allocation of just over 1,000 for the trip a great disappointment to the army of CFC fans wanting to make the trip to Belgium.
