Belgium

The Belgium national football team—nicknamed the Red Devils and governed by the Royal Belgian Football Association—enjoys a rich legacy, winning Olympic gold in 1920 and finishing third at the 2018 World Cup, while also ending as runners-up at Euro 1980. Their "golden generation" rose to No. 1 in the FIFA rankings (2015–2022) despite never securing a major international title. With fourteen World Cup and six European Championship appearances to their name, Belgium remains a consistent force in major tournaments.
