Belgium have been regular fixtures at the FIFA World Cup™, having featured in nine of the last 11 editions and 14 tournaments overall.
They sealed their 15th appearance at the finals with a commanding 7-0 victory over Liechtenstein on the final matchday, finishing two points clear of runners-up Wales. Remaining unbeaten across eight matches—with five wins and three draws—it marked their third consecutive qualifying campaign without defeat.
The Red Devils have twice reached the semi-finals of the global showpiece. They finished fourth in 1986 and recorded their best-ever showing in 2018 after overcoming England in the play-off for third place.
Prior to their 2-0 defeat to Morocco in their second outing at Qatar 2022™, the Belgians were riding a 13-match unbeaten run in group-stage encounters at the competition.
