The Red Devils are placed in Group G for the flagship tournament.
Kevin De Bruyne’s Belgium national football team are going to visit Stadion HNK Rijeka to take on the Croatia national football team. Before setting foot on the grandest stage of them all, this is going to be an important friendly for both sides.
Rudi Garcia’s men are preparing heavily for the FIFA World Cup 2026. After taking on the Vatreni, the Red Devils will face Tunisia in their final friendly before the mega competition. They were knocked out in the group stage during the 2022 edition of the flagship tournament in what was a disappointing campaign for them.
Their previous fixture against Croatia ended in a goalless draw. The Belgium national football team will be looking for a win this time around. But being away from home is only going to make things tougher for them.
For the upcoming edition of the World Cup, the Red Devils are placed in Group G. They will get to face Egypt, Iran and New Zealand. It will be interesting to see their journey.
Their qualification for the knockout stages will only happen if they finish in the top two in their group.
