The Belgium national football team frequently meets with Rudi Garcia to discuss issues. The coach uses a 'Council of Wise Men' consisting of five players to discuss problems.
Who are the members of the Council of Wise Men?
The members of the Council of Wise Men are Youri Tielemans, Thibaut Courtois, Kevin De Bruyne, Romelu Lukaku, and Thomas Meunier.
The idea is to quickly integrate Jérémy Doku into this council. Technical leader of the team, he must also become a leader off the field.
What is the objective of the Council of Wise Men?
The objective of the Council of Wise Men is to serve as a relay between the locker room and the coach. Discussions cover all topics, from football to group life.

|---|---|---|
| 2026-06-21 | Belgium - Iran | 0-0 |
What comes next?
The next match of the Belgium national football team is against New Zealand (2026-06-27).
The atmosphere has been praised but the results have weighed on the atmosphere around the national team. Today, the Council of Wise Men no longer talks about a possible shopping day in Seattle but about what to do to not waste this World Cup.
