The Belgium Euro 2024 squad will be announced soon, as Domenico Tedesco's Red Devils gear up for this summer's tournament.

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.

Kevin De Bruyne, Leandro Trossard, Youri Tielemans, Jeremy Doku and Romelu Lukaku can all strike fear into their opponents with dazzling displays, while experienced members of the Belgium Euro 2024 squad, such as Jan Vertonghen and Michy Batshuayi, have been in this situation plenty of times before. 

They're entering a new era under Tedesco, too, who will hope to inspire his team to greater heights at Euro 2024. March's friendlies against England and the Republic of Ireland provided some promising displays, while six wins and two draws from their eight qualifying games is vintage 'Golden Generation' Belgium. 

The Euro 2024 group stages provides some different tests for Belgium, however, with Slovakia, Romania and Ukraine all awaiting them in Germany

FourFourTwo won't just be focussing our efforts on Belgium, though. We'll provide the latest on every other squad at the tournament, with information on how to watch each game, too.

Belgium Euro 2024 squad numbers

The Belgium Euro 2024 squad numbers will be confirmed closer to the tournament kicking off. 

Belgium manager: Domenico Tedesco

Domenico Tedesco succeeded Roberto Martinez as Belgium manager in February 2023, stepping into his first international job - and it's gone swimmingly so far. The Italian-born German-raised manager is yet to lose a game in charge of the Red Devils, following on from an impressive German Cup win with RB Leipzig in 2022. 

He's got a clear philosophy, too: "I always want my teams to divide the space well," Tedesco said. "I like to compare it to a boxer, who should never let his guard down. On top of that, we want to win the ball back as often as possible because we love attacking - although always with a certain balance and structure, to be able to control any transitions."

Belgium's star player

Kevin De Bruyne

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.

The base pattern is stunning, while the touches of black separate this from being something resembling Arsenal's 2006 Highbury tribute shirt. It's mean, moody and a fine return to form after the horrendous fire kit of the last World Cup.

Away

Yes, these are the colours that the classic blonde Tintin donned when out on adventure with Snowy. He's Belgian, by the way (is it us or does he look like De Bruyne?).

The Belgium Euro 2024 away kit is available at Adidas.

FAQs

How many players are Belgium allowed to take to Euro 2024?

Tedesco will be able to pick 26 players for his Belgium Euro 2024 squad, after UEFA confirmed team sizes will increase from the original idea of 23. That's because teams lobbied the governing body for extra players, due to strenuous club schedules increasing the risk of injury.
