Belgian football is currently undergoing a significant financial and organizational crisis.
Details: Insider Sacha Tavolieri reports that the Royal Belgian Football Association (RBFA) is facing a debt of €8 million.
In an effort to reduce costs, the leadership has made a surprising decision: Belgium has dissolved its U16 national team. This marks a first in top-level football, as a federation has completely phased out a category that typically nurtures future talent.

The situation is critical: if the ‘Red Devils’ do not reach at least the quarterfinals of the 2026 World Cup, Belgian football could face severe consequences.
Reminder: Belgian national team player Romelu Lukaku left Napoli without permission and did not attend team training.
