Belgium's 'Golden Generation' — De Bruyne, Lukaku, Courtois, Hazard — peaked at #1 in FIFA rankings for years but never won a major trophy. The 2026 World Cup may be the last chance for this era.
Belgium finished third at the 2018 World Cup in Russia, their best result since also finishing third in 1986. They beat England in the third-place match, with Eden Hazard named tournament MVP candidate.
Belgium is one of the few nations where football bridges a deep linguistic divide. The team unites French-speaking Wallonia, Dutch-speaking Flanders, and the German-speaking community under one jersey.
