The travails of football fans seeking out tickets for a major tournament or key qualifier are manifold. The sheer weight of demand makes it very hard to access tickets, especially if you choose to go through either UEFA or FIFA channels.
Ahead of major tournaments, like the UEFA European Championship, the organizers release a large portion of the tickets via a lottery-style process. This occurs before fans even know which teams will be playing in a chosen game, instead just simply being aware of the stadium, city, and time of a game.
A second tranche is then released once the draw is made, but then you’ll find yourself in a massive free-for-all in another lottery, which most fans will fail in. Other options include joining a national team supporters club, but these require the payment of a membership fee and offer no guarantee of success.
There is, however, a better way to crack this predicament. SeatPick is the most well-respected operator in the secondary ticket market, and we work with hundreds of trusted reseller sites to bring our users a wide selection of tickets for every game.
Our platform is easy to use, with every purchase coming with a guarantee and no hidden fees.
Belgium vs Finland UEFA Euros Tournament Record
Belgium’s form in the UEFA European Championship is patchy, to say the least, with their best form in the competition occurring in recent editions.
In 1972, they hosted the finals and finished in third place, albeit only four teams took part in that portion of the tournament. Eight years later, they did better to force their way out of a tough group ahead of Italy, England, and Spain, to then lose the final to West Germany in Rome.
1984 saw Belgium eliminated at the group phase, and there then followed 16 years without qualification, which only ended for Euro 2000 because they were co-hosting those finals with the Netherlands and therefore secured an automatic spot in the finals.
Euro 2004, 2008, and 2012 all saw the Belgians fail to qualify again, but by Euro 2016, they had assembled a pretty impressive squad, with top players playing all over the continent, especially in the English Premier League.
National team coach Marc Wilmots saw his side battle their way to the Quarter-Finals in France, only to then surprisingly lose to Wales.
Roberto Martinez proved to be a very competent managerial choice, and in the qualifying campaign for Euro 2020, Belgium won all ten of their games, scoring 40 goals in the process and conceding just three.
This meant they were certainly one of the favourites going into the finals, which were held across Europe to mark the 60th anniversary of the competition, albeit this occurred a year later in 2021 due to the peak of the coronavirus pandemic.
After winning all three of their group stage games, Belgium then knocked out Portugal in the Round of 16 but fell to Italy in the Quarter-Finals, with Roberto Mancini’s side then going on to win the tournament.
Finland’s record in the UEFA European Championship is pretty shambolic. They have only qualified for the finals of the tournament on one occasion, and that came in the rescheduled Euro 2020 edition.
They started that campaign well, beating Denmark in an opener that saw Christian Eriksen suffer a cardiac event. The Finns then slumped to defeats against Russia and Belgium and were duly eliminated.
Belgium vs Finland Head-to-Head
Belgium and Finland have met each other in three UEFA European Championship matches, the first two of which came in the qualifying stages ahead of Euro 2008.
Finland beat Belgium 2-0 in Helsinki and secured a credible draw in Brussels, but in the end, neither team made it to the finals in Austria and Switzerland.
Their other game came in the finals of the Euro 2020 tournament, with a much stronger Belgium side beating Finland 2-0 in Saint-Petersburg, a result that saw Finland knocked out of the competition.
