Belgium and Netherlands UEFA Euros Tournament Record
Plenty of superstars have lined up for both teams, but only the Netherlands can proudly look back on one UEFA European Championship trophy, while Belgium has reached one final.
The Netherlands claimed the European Championship title in 1988 with a 2-0 victory over the Soviet Union in the final. Marco van Basten’s iconic volley remains etched in history as one of the tournament's most memorable moments. The Dutch team has consistently reached the knockout stages in the years that followed, but they’re yet to make a second appearance in a European Championship final.
In contrast, Belgium is a nation still waiting for its maiden international tournament success. The country's finest showing on the big stage was undoubtedly at Euro 1980, where they advanced to the European Championship final. Unfortunately, Belgium succumbed to a heart-wrenching 2-1 defeat against Germany after conceding a late 88th-minute winner.
Belgium vs Netherlands Head to Head
The clash between the Red Devils and the Oranje, also known as the ‘Low Countries derby,’ has been played more than 125 times. Among the international footballing rivalries, only Austria vs Hungary and Uruguay vs Argentina have experienced more encounters.
While these two teams have met on numerous occasions, they've never faced each other in a European Championship. Their only World Cup encounters, in 1994 and 1998, resulted in a 1-0 victory for Belgium in the first meeting and a goalless draw in the subsequent match four years later.
