Rudy Garcia, the technical director of the Belgian national team, announced his team's lineup to face Spain in the quarter-finals of the 2026 World Cup.
The two teams meet at SoFi Stadium in the city of California at ten in the evening Cairo time with an English whistle from Michael Oliver.
Kevin De Bruyne and Jeremy Doku start in the starting lineup after the duo participated as substitutes in the victory over America in the round of 16.
De Bruyne compensates for the absence of the injured Amadou Onana, while Doku is present as a right winger instead of Dodi Lukebakio.
And the formation of the Red Devils came
Goalkeeping: Thibaut Courtois
Defense: Timothy Castagne – Nathan Ngoy – Brandon Mitchell – Maxim De Cuyper
Midfield: Youri Tielemans – Nicolas Raskin – Kevin De Bruyne
Attack: Jeremy Doku – Charles De Ketelaere – Leandro Trossard

It is noted that this is the first meeting between Spain and Belgium since the friendly match in 2016 which ended with a 2-0 victory for La Roja at that time.
The Belgian national team qualified for the quarter-finals for the first time since the 2018 edition in which it achieved third place, and the Red Devils reached that stage after winning against America with a score of 4-1.
The winner of that match will qualify to face France in the semi-finals on Tuesday, July 14 at ten in the evening.
