On September 14, the Red Dragons will open the tournament in Manila against Ukraine. An important first hurdle, because the group stage can open the gate to matches against superpowers such as France and Argentina.
Since the last World Cup participation in 2018, the Belgian team has experienced a major transformation. D’Hulst and Coolman, together with Captain Sam Deroo, have to take the young guard in tow towards a top performance. “We know it will be tough, but we have nothing to lose,” it sounds in the camp of the dragons.
The Red Dragons count on making a fist at the highest level with their mix of experience and talent.
