The Belgium national football team began its training in Seattle ahead of the 2026 World Cup. During this first session, which lasted about an hour, Jérémy Doku had to return early to the locker room, but reports indicate that it was not serious. He is expected to return to collective training on Wednesday, which reassures about his participation in the match against Egypt scheduled for Monday. All players were present except for Zeno Debast, who was continuing his rehabilitation. The atmosphere was good, with players like Diego Moreira and Alexis Saelemaekers having fun with the ball before the training started. A notable fact was that 19 of the 25 players wore pink boots, a trend that seems to continue throughout the tournament. The training took place under strong winds but without rain, allowing the Red Devils to focus on their preparation. The first press conference is scheduled for Wednesday, but the federation leaders have already met with a local Native American tribe, exchanging gifts. This first session was therefore a great opportunity for the team to come together and start seriously preparing for the World Cup.
