Gent
In the first leg of the play-off round of UEFA Conference League qualifying, KAA Gent host Scottish side Hibernian at the Ghelamco Arena 20 August 2026 at 14:30 EDT / 11:30 PDT.
KAA Gent, as the home side, will try to seize the initiative straight away and build an advantage before the return leg. Hibernian have already come through several qualifying rounds and are almost certain to rely on organised defending and quick attacks, so the Belgian club face a tough test.
