Belgium
The Nationals have officially announced their participation in the
Euro 2024
The big list. Manchester City's central midfielder Kevin De Bruyne leads the way, with names such as De Ketelaere, Romelu Lukaku, and Doku on the list, but the team will be without the help of Courtois. Belgian manager Tedesco said that the team will focus on players in good form, and Courtois himself announced that he will miss the Euro due to his inability to reach 100% form.

Belgium is placed in Group E, with opponents including Romania, Slovakia and Ukraine. Before the start of the European Cup, Belgium will also play two friendly matches against Montenegro and Luxembourg. As the third-ranked team in the world, Belgium has high expectations in this Euro.
De Bruyne, as the core of Belgium's midfield, will shoulder the heavy responsibility of organizing the attack and controlling the rhythm. Lukaku, Doku and other frontline players will become the team's important force in the attack. The young De Ketelaere will also become a major point of view of the team, and his performance will directly affect the efficiency of Belgium's offense.
While the absence of Courtois is a major disappointment, Belgium still has capable goalkeepers such as Sels, Castells and Kaminski who will work together to guard the team's door.
As the third ranked team in the world, Belgium's goal is not only to break through from the group stage, but also to aim for the Euro trophy. It is believed that under the leadership of De Bruyne, this Belgian team can show strong competitiveness in the Euro 2024.
