A star-studded Belgium will be hoping to win their first World Cup at the 2022 tournament in Qatar.
The Red Devils have fallen short of expectations at the past two tournaments and are yet to even play a World Cup final.
With a number of Belgium’s stars at their peak, it could be now or never for this team to win the trophy that matters most.
Roberto Martinez’s side find themselves in Group F for the 2022 FIFA World Cup and will be confident of putting a good run together.
