Domenico Tedesco spoke of “interesting avenues” when mentioning the possible opponents of the Devils for the two friendly matches scheduled for March 2024. We already know one: England. The Devils will travel to London on Tuesday March 26 to face the Three Lions at the legendary Wembley Stadium.
Even if it is only a friendly meeting, it will serve as a full-scale test three months before the Euro. England is considered one of the two favorite nations for final victory along with France. There will also be a feeling of revenge: the English beat the Belgians on their last two trips to London, 2-1 in the 2020 Nations League and 1-0 in a friendly in 2012.
The football federation is currently in discussions with other nations to arrange a second meeting during the truce. It should take place at the start of the gathering, on March 21 or 22.
“England is a top nation and this is the kind of opponent we need, in order to prepare well for the Euro,” reacted coach Domenico Tedesco, quoted in the press release. “Besides, being able to play at Wembley is the dream of everyone who loves football. We are really looking forward to it. By facing such strong football nations, we will know better and see sooner where and how we can improve further in order to become a competitive team among the major contenders for the European title.”
In addition to this match once morest the Red Devils, England will also host Brazil at Wembley on March 23. “I’m happy to have two big oppositions in March to prepare for the Euro. It’s important to take advantage of every opportunity to test ourselves once morest high-level teams,” said Gareth Southgate, the England coach. , cited in the press release from the English Football Federation (FA).
Belgium and England have both already qualified for the Euros. The Red Devils will face Azerbaijan on November 19 at the King Baudouin stadium for their final qualifying match. Four days earlier, a friendly match once morest Serbia is planned, also at the King Baudouin stadium.
A second friendly match should be on the program for the March international window. Before that, Belgium will know its opponents in the group stage of the Euro during the draw on December 2 in Hamburg.
