Both Belgium and Portugal have impressed in international action in recent tournaments, and they possess immensely strong squads capable of mounting a real push for the ultimate prize.
If you are a fan of either nation or just an interested neutral, trying to get hold of tickets is by no means an easy feat, especially when it comes to action in the finals of a major tournament like the UEFA European Championships or the FIFA World Cup.
You could opt to try your luck with the ballots offered by either football governing body while being well aware of the fact that you will be one of the millions of others trying to crack that particular ticketing code.
This process is further hampered by the fact that the first ticket release is invariably made prior to the draw for the finals, meaning supporters are applying for tickets for games without even knowing who will be playing whom, which is a far from ideal situation.
The subsequent releases that occur after the draw entail an even larger group of fanatical supporters, and your chances of success via this route are truly minimal.
At SeatPick, it is all so much easier. Our straightforward process provides fans with a huge inventory of tickets for every game, from qualifiers to the latter stages of major tournaments, including the UEFA European Championship Final.

Belgium vs Portugal UEFA Euros Tournament Record
Belgium have had a bumpy road as far as their success at the UEFA European Championships. From decent displays in the late 1970s and early 1980s to long periods without securing qualification for the competition, all in all, the Red Devils should perhaps have achieved more given the potential they have shown over the years.
They finished third in 1972, the first time they ever qualified for the finals of the tournament, and in 1980, they finished top of a group that also included mighty nations Italy, England, and Spain. That led them to a final clash with West Germany.
Guy Thys watched his side battle from a goal down only to lose to a late winner from Horst Hrubesch in Rome.
Group stage exits came in 1984 and 2000, and in between, multiple failures to make it to the finals.
National team coach Marc Wilmots finally delivered an admirable return to form at Euro 2016, where Belgium did well to beat Hungary in the Round of 16 before falling to a surprise loss to Wales in the Quarter-Finals.
At Euro 2020, Roberto Martinez’s side won all ten of their qualifiers and arrived at the tournament as a genuine contender for the title. They edged out Portugal in the Round of 16 before losing to eventual winners Italy in the Quarter-Finals.
Portugal have had a far more consistent record in the tournament, reaching the Semi-Finals in their first finals appearance. That came in 1984 when A Seleção das Quinas were very unfortunate to not progress to the final, with the French getting the upper hand, winning 3-2 in extra time with Michel Platini scoring a 119th-minute winner.
Euro 2000 saw Portugal once again face the French in the Semi-Finals, only to lose in extra time, with Zinedine Zidane scoring the winner before Les Bleus then toppled Italy in the final.
Euro 2004 was hosted by Portugal, and the stars looked aligned as they made it to the final to face Greece in what should have been a comfortable win for the home side. However, the Greeks had other ideas, and a goal from Angelos Charisteas gave the visitors a shock win and a title success no one would have dreamt of.
Euro 2016 saw Portugal gain revenge by beating France on their own patch to take their first-ever major title, with forward Eder being the unlikely hero, scoring from long range in extra time.
Belgium vs Portugal Head-to-Head
Belgium and Portugal have previously met seven times in UEFA European Championship matches, with six of those coming in the qualifying phase.
The one meeting at the finals came in the Round of 16 at the delayed Euro 2020 finals and saw Thorgan Hazard score the only goal of the game to give Belgium a 1-0 win in Seville.
