The organisers of the Belgium Cup have two fantastic trump cards up their sleeve: the lovely centre of Hasselt, the provincial capital of Belgian Limburg, and two huge, glorious sports parks. This combination works brilliantly: since it began in 2000, the Belgium Cup has always been packed to the rafters. Organisers Zonhoven United & KFC Helson provide tons of football in laid-back surroundings, just a few kilometres from the centre of Hasselt. Insiders know that the central area around the 'Grote Markt' (the Grand Square) has a lot of offer. Belgium Cup: welcoming and sociable.

Hasselt

A few kilometres from the tournament locations you will find the centuries-old centre of Hasselt. Why not get comfortable at one of the many pavement cafés on the market square? Shoppers will be delighted by the popular shopping streets, because you can find whatever you are looking for there. Fancy taking it up a notch? Try climbing the Beiaardtoren (bell tower). You'll not only be rewarded with a superb view, you can also see the huge bells up close. There really is something for everyone here.

Action Park Kiewit

Think you’ll have any energy left after all those matches? If so, why not get in on the action at Action Park Kiewit? You and your team will have three hours to tackle four activities. You can choose from, among other things, a rope track, water trail, climbing wall and BMX slope. We’re prepared to bet that you’ll be tired after all that! There’s also the municipal swimming pool for those who prefer to take it a bit easier. There are two large pools, a water slide and whirlpools; so, you can choose to go wild or just relax. And the best thing is: both are located within a very short distance of the sports fields!

School Kindsheid Jesu
School/Sportshall

The participants of the Belgium Cup have been welcomed for years in the Kindsheid Jesu School - a former monastery on the northern outskirts of Hasselt with a completely modernized interior. The school is approx.10 - 15 km from the sports parks and 2 km from the popular city center of Hasselt. You just need to follow the road and you will automatically end up in the popular center of Hasselt. You don't need a navigator for that. The school offers a large outdoor area with, among other things, football goals plus a recreation room in the basement with various playground equipment. The auditorium is reserved for meals.
