BELGIUM – HOME SHIRT 2020
Belgium’s national team, known as the Red Devils, have established themselves as one of international football’s elite sides, particularly during their “golden generation” era. While historically not among the most decorated nations, Belgium rose to prominence in the 2010s thanks to an exceptional group of players competing at the very highest level of club football.
This era has been defined by world-class talents such as Eden Hazard, Kevin De Bruyne, Romelu Lukaku, Vincent Kompany and Thibaut Courtois, who helped transform Belgium into consistent contenders at major tournaments.
Belgium wore this home shirt during their UEFA Euro 2020 campaign, a tournament played across 2021 due to global delays. Maintaining their status as one of the top-ranked teams in the world, Roberto Martínez’s side entered the competition with high expectations and a squad blending established stars with emerging talent.
After progressing through the group stage with a perfect record, Belgium overcame Portugal in the Round of 16 thanks to a disciplined and clinical performance. Their journey came to an end in the quarter-finals following a narrow defeat to eventual champions Italy, despite creating several chances and competing at a high level throughout.
The tournament further highlighted the strength and depth of Belgium’s squad, while also signalling the gradual transition from their golden generation.
The 2018 World Cup marked the peak of Belgium’s golden generation, earning global admiration for both their style of play and individual brilliance.
As of 2026, Belgium are transitioning into a new era, with several key figures from that golden generation having moved on. However, they remain competitive on the international stage and a new wave of players such as Jérémy Doku, Senne Lammens, and Mika Godts have begun to emerge, offering fresh energy and promise for the future of the national team. The Red Devils have once again qualified for the World Cup and have been drawn into a favourable group featuring Egypt, Iran, and New Zealand.
