Belgium
La generación dorada de los Diablos Rojos ha evolucionado con nuevo talento emergente para complementar a las estrellas establecidas en lo que puede ser su último baile juntos.
Squad Overview
A squad in transition — the golden generation of Hazard, Alderweireld, and Vertonghen has given way to a new crop, but Kevin De Bruyne and Romelu Lukaku remain the attacking focal points. The emergence of Jérémy Doku and other young talents has injected pace and directness. If the defense holds up, Belgium's attack can trouble anyone.
Tactical Style
Possession-oriented 3-4-2-1 where the wing-backs provide width and the two attacking midfielders support the lone striker. Belgium's system is built to maximize Kevin De Bruyne's creative genius, surrounding him with runners and giving him the platform to dictate play from midfield.
Road to 2026
Qualified with authority, their blend of veteran experience and emerging talent too much for UEFA qualifying opponents.
World Cup History
Belgium's golden generation achieved a best-ever third-place finish in 2018, led by Eden Hazard and Kevin De Bruyne at their peak. They were ranked world number one for several years — an extraordinary achievement for a nation of 11 million. The 2026 tournament represents the final opportunity for the De Bruyne-led generation to win the ultimate prize.
