Belgium's representative, or rather Coach Domenico Tedesco, has confirmed its final Euro-2024 team, inviting only 25 football players.
Belgium is seeking to go far in the tournament with a relatively new and fresh team, as their golden generation of stars failed to reach heights that reached the level of clubs.
Manager Domenico Tedesco appointed a temporary team of 25 players, a player short of the 26 players' margin.
He has now confirmed that he will stay with those 25 Euro-2024 players in Germany, despite the fact that two additional players were trained with the team this week.
Arne Engels and Mandela Keita were invited to receive training this week, sparking speculation that one of them could be added to the final team by Friday's midnight deadline, but Tedesco did not change, not inviting even Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois to the end.
However, part of Belgium's list are stars such as Kevin de Bruyne, Romelu Lukacu, Jeremy Dok, Your Thielemans and Axel Whitel.
