K.A.A. Gent is a Belgian football, athletics and hockey club, based in the Belgian city of Ghent. It was one of the founders of the Belgian Football Association. It has been in the top flight Jupiler League since 1989-90. The hockey and athletics division were founded in 1864, making it one of the oldest sporting clubs in Belgium. The club was then known under its French name La Gantoise. It changed its name to the present Dutch version in 1971. In spite of its long history the club has never been champion of Belgium.
The nickname of the club is Buffalo, a term coined after a visit of the original Buffalo Bill and his Wild West circus to the city in the early 1900s.
