Belgium national football team aims for qualification

The Belgium national football team must qualify for the 2026 World Cup. After a draw against Egypt on June 15, 2026, the Red Devils need a win against New Zealand to secure their qualification.

What is the most likely scenario?

The most likely scenario is that the Red Devils finish second in their group and face Australia or Paraguay in the round of 16.

The luxury escape: qualifying as one of the best third-placed teams

But the Red Devils can also qualify as one of the best third-placed teams. With three points and a neutral goal difference, they could be one of the eight teams to qualify.

More accessible opponents as third-placed teams?

If the Red Devils qualify as one of the best third-placed teams, they could face more accessible opponents. But this will depend on the combination of the third-placed teams.
