Tournament outlook
The golden generation is fading, but De Bruyne, Doku and Lukaku still terrify defences. How well the back line holds up will decide their ceiling.
Managed by Rudi Garcia, Belgium head into the 2026 World Cup in Group G, where they face Egypt, Iran, New Zealand. With a FIFA ranking of #9, expectations are calibrated accordingly, but tournament football has a way of rewriting the script.
