The final tickets for &lsquo;European football&rsquo; were distributed on the final day of the competition, with the exception of one.</strong></p><p>Club Brugge became champion for the 20<sup>th</sup> time last week and goes to the Champions League. Union St Gilles was also sure of European football after winning the cup.</p><p>Stin-Truiden VV and Anderlecht ended 3rd and 4th in the competition. AA Gent, that ended in 5th place, has to play a match against KRC Genk, the winner of a competition between lower-ranked teams. \u200b </p><p>UEFA has three leagues: Champions, Europa, and Conference. Brugge and Union start in the Champions league. Union could fall to the Europa league if it doesn&rsquo;t qualify in a preliminary round. Sint-Truiden VV starts in the Europa league. Anderlecht is a certainty in the Conference league. Gent or Genk have to win a preliminary round to qualify for this league.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><sub>#FlandersNewsService | &copy; BELGA PHOTO KURT DESPLENTER</sub></p>",
