Belgium and Senegal locked in their starting lineups for a World Cup Round of 32 clash on July 1, 2026, in Seattle.
Belgium rolled out a veteran-heavy XI featuring Thibaut Courtois in goal, Kevin De Bruyne orchestrating the midfield alongside Youri Tielemans and Hans Vanaken, and an attacking trident of Leandro Trossard, Jérémy Doku, and Charles De Ketelaere. The defensive line comprised Timothy Castagne, Arthur Theate, Brandon Mechele, and Maxim De Cuyper.
Senegal countered with their own blend of experience and youth. Sadio Mané headlines the squad, supported by the likes of Krepin Diatta, Ismaila Sarr, and Pape Diarra in a transitional lineup that mixes proven international pedigree with next-generation talent.
