Description
This is the fully-customizable short-sleeve home kit for Belgium’s 1994 World Cup and 1996 Euro Qualifiers
USA 1994 was where Belgium made their ninth appearance at the World Cup, and they secured a berth at the quadrennial competition’s 15th edition after finishing second in Group 4 of the UEFA qualifying campaign. The Red Devils won seven games, drew once, and lost twice to finish behind Romania, and they were drawn in Group F of the World Cup finals alongside the Netherlands, Saudi Arabia, and Morocco. They were led to the United States by manager Paul Van Himst, with Georges Grün as their skipper.
Belgium started their World Cup campaign with a 1-0 win over the North Africans, thanks to Marc Degryse’s 11th-minute winner. Philippe Albert’s 65th-minute goal helped them record a 1-0 victory over the Dutch, and they lost 1-0 in their last group game against Saudi Arabia. Their return of six points from a possible nine saw them finish third in the group, with Netherlands and Saudi placing first and second, respectively, only due to superior goal differences.
As one of the best third-placed teams, Van Himst’s side met Germany in the round-of-16, suffering a 3-2 defeat, with goals from Georges Grün and Albert not enough to get them through. However, the game was shrouded in controversy as Swiss referee Kurt Röthlisberger failed to award Belgium a spot kick after Josip Weber was brought down with a bump from behind by German centre-back Thomas Helmer. The mistake led to the end of the ref’s World Cup campaign as he was sent home afterwards, but the damage was already done by then. Belgium’s Michel Preud’homme emerged as the best goalkeeper of the tournament for his heroics in goal. The Red Devils had also gotten eliminated in the last-16 during the 1990 World Cup, and a fourth-place finish in 1986 was their best run at the tournament prior to 1994. They have since surpassed that achievement, though, finishing third at the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

It all started when we were around 5 or 6 years old…
We would go to school in the day, and then go back home. Then, we’d be out and about for the rest of the day. We were playing football with the rest of the kids from around our home all day.
We were playing for hours, and we never stopped, even if our moms called us to get inside. We would yell “10 more minutes!”, right before spending another two hours on the field.
It didn’t matter whether it was sunny, rainy, or there was a snowstorm. We were still playing, from Spring to Winter, every single day.
And we were wearing the same jerseys you can find on our store. We are more than a jersey company…
