Gantoise and Degroof Petercam
Gantoise's core values are ambition, respect and fair play. With these virtues and vision on quality, the field hockey club rises above the average. The perfect ingredient for a partnership with Degroof Petercam. For the family community unites around ambition and creates a positive atmosphere. On top of that, the club made history when they became Belgian champions in both men's and women's 2023.
I hope we can bring a major tournament to Ghent by 2030, a European championship would be brilliant. No lack of ambition.

Gantoise has a long history. The club was founded in 1864 as an athletics club, from which several clubs evolved, with KAA Gent being the most famous. The tennis and field hockey club found itself in a slump in 2013. With passionate volunteers, we then put our shoulders under this project. Sport has an enormous pulling power. When I walk around the club and see more than two thousand people together, on and around the field, it gives me an unforgettable feeling. You can't quantify that satisfaction in terms of money. Although in order to have a successful sports club you need money. For that, we can count on Degroof Petercam. Membership fees and income from catering are not enough. Every sports non-profit organization needs a reliable long-term partner to build on.

Regional Director East Flanders at Degroof Petercam
Gantoise fits completely into Degroof Petercam's DNA. Just think of the ambition to transform the club into the leading field hockey club in Flanders. And that is succeeding thanks to the strong leadership of the club. Just think of the great sporting achievements and the investments that are bearing fruit. At Gantoise, young people get the chance to become top athletes, in a setting where integrity and family are highly valued. This also fits closely into Degroof Petercam's philosophy, where we specifically support organizations that build these kinds of qualities. Gantoise and Degroof Petercam share the same values: we support the club to play field hockey with ambition.
