Founding and Early Years
The Belgium national team, nicknamed "the Red Devils," is governed by the Royal Belgian Football Association, founded in 1895. Long a quiet presence on the world stage, Belgium experienced its golden age in the 2010s thanks to the simultaneous emergence of an exceptional generation.
Team Evolution
Belgium play their home matches at the King Baudouin Stadium in Brussels.
Great Managers
Under Marc Wilmots, Belgium reached 1st place in the FIFA World Ranking for the first time in their history in November 2015. Roberto Martínez extended this golden age by leading the Red Devils to 3rd place at the 2018 World Cup, the best finish in their history. Rudi Garcia now leads a side that reached the quarter-finals of the 2026 World Cup.
Iconic Players
Kevin De Bruyne, one of the best midfielders of his generation, and Eden Hazard, the iconic forward of the golden generation, carried Belgium to its best results. Romelu Lukaku remains the national team's all-time top scorer, while Vincent Kompany, the former captain, was its defensive rock for years.
Major Achievements
Belgium have never won the World Cup, their best finish being 3rd place at the 2018 tournament in Russia. They also reached 1st place in the FIFA World Ranking in November 2015, a first in the nation's history. At the 2026 edition, the Red Devils reached the quarter-finals before losing to eventual champions Spain (1-2).
The Team Today
Led by Rudi Garcia, Belgium confirmed with their run to the 2026 World Cup quarter-finals that they remain a competitive side despite the gradual transition of their golden generation.
