Belgium national football team results – 2010s

In the 2010s, the Belgium national football team missed out on both the 2010 World Cup and Euro 2012, but improved greatly in the next years. They secured qualification for the 2014 World Cup with an impressive unbeaten record, and achieved sixth place at the finals: their second-best result ever (after reaching fourth in 1986) at the time. The improved results led to Belgium reaching the top position on the FIFA World Rankings for the first time, in November 2015.[1] They had a setback losing to Wales in the quarter finals at Euro 2016, but improved there play under a new coach, reaching their best result ever at the 2018 FIFA World Cup, ending third.

The overall balance so far (as of 12 October 2018) is positive with 63 wins versus 15 losses and 20 draws.
