Team history
Belgium’s best European Championship finish is the EURO 1980 final, lost 2–1 to West Germany. Their World Cup bronze in 2018 came with a different generation.
The team of Eden Hazard, Kevin De Bruyne and Romelu Lukaku also reached the quarter-finals of the 2014 World Cup and EURO 2016 and 2020. Earlier sides were built around players such as Paul Van Himst and Enzo Scifo. That breadth of history matters when assessing Belgium beyond their FIFA ranking at any one moment.
