FIFA World Cup 2026

Belgium

FIFA #6 Group G UEFA BEL

Background

Belgium finished third at Russia 2018 with the most-capped Golden Generation in modern football, then crashed out in the group stage of Qatar 2022 with much the same squad. The 2026 cycle is a deliberate handover to a younger core built around Doku, De Ketelaere, and Onana.
