Belgium will face Senegal in the last 32 of the 2026 World Cup on Thursday at 1:45 am. The winner of this match in Seattle will play the winner between the United States and Bosnia and Herzegovina in the last 16.
Belgium qualified for the knockout stage by winning Group G. Despite drawing 1-1 with Egypt in the first match and 0-0 with Iran in the second match, Belgium defeated New Zealand 5-1 in the final match.
Senegal lost 3-1 to France and 3-2 to Norway in the first two matches. But Senegal defeated Iraq 5-0 in the final match to enter the knockout stage as the third team from the group.
Belgium's golden generation including Thibaut Curtis, Kevin De Bruyne, Romelu Lukaku are probably playing their last tournament. Senegal, who are getting older, may pose a tough challenge to them. Lukaku will start the match from the bench.
Senegal's Sadio Mane is also probably trying to make his last international tournament memorable. He has scored 55 goals in 131 appearances for Senegal. That includes a goal against Japan in the 2018 World Cup. However, he missed the 2022 World Cup due to injury and has not scored in this World Cup.
