Some of the greatest modern-day stars have featured for Belgium, but only the best are allowed in our all-time XI!
Belgium have been a force to be reckoned with at the international stage over the course of the last decade or so.
They missed out on qualification for the 2006 and 2010 World Cups, but the emergence of Belgium's "golden generation" consisting of players such as Eden Hazard, Romelu Lukaku and Kevin De Bruyne saw them return to the highest level.
The Red Devils made it to the quarter-finals at the 2014 World Cup, rose to the top of the Fifa Rankings, and then won the bronze medal at the 2018 World Cup.
Their recent successes have reminded fans of their previous glory days, with Belgium making it to the final at Euro 1980 and the semi-finals at the 1986 World Cup, with players like Jean-Marie Pfaff, Enzo Scifo and Jan Ceulemans making waves at the global scene back then.
But who make their ultimate dream team?
Let's take a look!

Rated as one of the best and most consistent goalkeepers of his era, Preud'homme was the first winner of the Golden Glove as the best goalkeeper at the 1994 World Cup.
The shot-stopper played 58 times for Belgium between 1979 to 1995 and featured in two World Cups for his country.
Preud'homme made his final appearance for his country in December 1994 in a 4-1 Euro 1996 qualifier against Spain.
Thibaut Courtois might feel slightly hard done by as he narrowly misses out on the No.1 jersey, but the Real Madrid star still has a few seasons ahead of him and could very well dethrone his illustrious compatriot in the years to come!

A product of the Ajax youth academy, Vertonghen is a versatile left-back who can also feature as a centre-back.
Vertonghen made his international debut in 2007 and with 141 caps (including three unofficial games), he is the highest-capped player in the history of Belgian football.
The defender helped Belgium to a fourth-placed finish at the 2008 Olympics, reached the quarter-final at the 2014 World Cup, Euro 2016 and Euro 2020, while also helping them to a third-placed finish at the 2018 World Cup.

One of the most attack-minded centre-backs of his generation, Albert made 41 appearances for the Belgian national team between 1987 to 1997.
The defender featured at the 1990 and 1994 World Cups, having made his debut in 1987.
Albert rose to fame at the 1994 World Cup when he played in four of Belgium's games, scoring against Netherlands and against Germany in the second-round game, which his team lost 3-2.
The former Newcastle man just beats Toby Alderweireld to a spot at the heart of the defence.

One of the greatest Belgian defenders of the modern era, Kompany made his international debut in 2004 at the age of 17 and was part of Belgium's squad for the 2008 Olympics.
After making a name for himself at Manchester City, Kompany became Belgium's captain in 2010 and he featured for his country at the 2014 and 2018 World Cups.
Between 2004 and 2019, Kompany made 89 appearances for Belgium, scoring four goals.
