Belgium 2018 Home Shirt

BELGIUM – HOME SHIRT 2018

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 outstanding 2018 campaign at the FIFA World Cup in Russia. Playing an exciting, attacking brand of football, Roberto Martínez’s side impressed throughout the tournament.

After comfortably progressing through the group stage, Belgium defeated Japan in a dramatic Round of 16 comeback, before overcoming Brazil in the quarter-finals with a superb performance. Their journey ended in the semi-finals with defeat to eventual champions France, but they bounced back to beat England in the third-place playoff, securing the best finish in the nation’s history.

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, with a new wave of talent emerging alongside experienced players. 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.
