Although Belgium does not have the same golden generation of players as they did eight years ago, their hope lies in veteran Kevin De Bruyne. The 34-year-old is playing in his fourth and likely final World Cup.
He was a key member of the team when Belgium reached the quarterfinals of the 2014 World Cup. De Bruyne was selected in the Dream Team when Belgium finished third in the 2018 World Cup in Russia. He was also in the Belgian team for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
De Bruyne made his debut for the national team in 2010. Since then, he has played 119 games for Belgium as an attacking midfielder and has scored 37 goals. He is equally good in the central midfield role and also plays in the ‘box to box’ and ‘false 9’.
Good dribbling skills and accurate crosses are his main characteristics. During his 10 years at Premier League team Manchester City, De Bruyne scored 108 goals in 285 games. In that time, he has led City to six Premier League titles, two FA Cups and one Champions League title.
He joined Italian side Napoli at the start of the 2025 season, where he has scored five goals in 18 appearances.
