The Belgium Euro 2024 squad is taking shape, with the Red Devils gearing up for this summer's big tournament in Germany.
Belgium may no longer be in the era of their 'Golden Generation', but this is still a talented crop of players who should not be taken lightly ahead of Euro 2024.
After crashing out of the 2022 World Cup at the group stage, the Red Devils have entered a new era under Domenico Tedesco – and they booked their spot at the latest European Championship by topping their qualifying group with six wins and two draws from eight games. However, they began 2024 in somewhat indifferent fashion, drawing friendlies with the Republic of Ireland and England.
At the finals themselves, Kevin De Bruyne and co. will take on Slovakia, Romania and Ukraine in the group stage.
As with every team at the tournament, FourFourTwo will bring you all the latest on Belgium as we report live from the European Championship.

One of the figureheads of Belgium's 'Golden Generation', Manchester City string-puller Kevin De Bruyne wears the captain's armband for both club and country these days.
The assist machine is the most-capped midfielder in the history of the Belgian national team, for whom he provides the main creative spark.
De Bruyne is also among Belgium's leading goalscorers of all time and has represented his country at five major tournaments, including the last two Euros.
FAQs
How many players are Belgium allowed to take to Euro 2024?
UEFA confirmed in February that each competing nation will be able to name a final squad of 23 players in their Euro 2024 squads, including a mandatory three goalkeepers.
After a couple of tournaments featuring 26-player teams, UEFA have now reverted from the expanded squad.
National managers were allowed to bring 26 players to 2021's European Championship for the first time at a major tournament, as a special measure brought in due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to the fixture congestion, the expanded squads returned for the World Cup. Without those same issues, 23-player squads have made a return.
