Belgium Trophy History | Still Waiting for a World Cup or UEFA European Championship Title

Belgium's story so far

Belgium are one of 160 national teams who have never won a FIFA World Cup or their confederation's continental championship — the same two-tier standard tracked for every team on this site. Best result: 3rd place, 2018 World Cup — the 'golden generation' era of De Bruyne, Hazard and Lukaku.

What would it take?

To join the 51 nations already tracked here, Belgium would need to win either the FIFA World Cup or the UEFA European Championship — the top continental honor in the Europe (UEFA) region. Both remain fully open: there's no ranking or seeding that rules a team out permanently, only qualification and results on the pitch.
