Euro 2016 Match Schedule - Belgium Team

Update the latest information on the schedule, players, coaches and squad of Belgium at Euro 2016

Table E

Belgium

If you look at the current position in the FIFA rankings and the star-studded squad, Belgium will naturally be considered one of the top candidates for the championship. However, the Red Devils still lack courage in major tournaments and need to be further tested.

Eligibility

Won first place in group B

Belgium showed remarkable strength in the qualifying round when they won first place in Group B, scoring 24 goals and conceding only 5.

Probability of success

The opening match against Italy could decide whether Belgium can win Group E or not.

Expected lineup

• Goalkeeper:Thibaut Courtois;
• Defender:Toby Alderweireld, Thomas Vermaelen, Jason Denayer, Jan Vertonghen;
• Midfielder:Radja Nainggolan, Axel Witsel, Marouane Fellaini;
• Forward:Kevin De Bruyne, Eden Hazard, Romelu Lukaku.

  Key player

  Kevin de Bruyne

  A knee injury kept De Bruyne out of action for a long time while playing for Man City. However, Belgium will need the 24-year-old midfielder’s creativity and technical skills if they want to go far at EURO 2016.

  Coach

  Marc Wilmots

  Having led Belgium since 2012, Marc Wilmots has had enough time to create a cohesive team and aim for success. Reaching the quarter-finals of the 2014 World Cup shows that the 47-year-old strategist and his students can go far in France.
