Cup: Belgium recalls successes vs France at Stade de France

By revisiting the only two victories of Belgium over France in the 21st century, the recall takes place at the Stade de France, the stage of the successes of 2002 and 2015. These friendly matches, a few days before a World Cup or a Euro, remain etched in the memory of the Red Devils.

Key moments of the two triumphs

The first success, in 2002, took place during a friendly match preceding the World Cup, while the second, on 7 June 2015, ended with a 3‑4 victory a year before Euro 2016. Marouane Fellaini, double scorer of the evening, was congratulated by Radja Nainggolan, Christian Benteke, Axel Witsel and Eden Hazard.

Gert Verheyen was also recalled as a key figure of these successes, highlighting the impact of experienced players. Frédéric Bleus, present in the footage of the time, commented on the importance of these victories for the morale of the Red Devils.

Since the 2015 triumph, Belgium has suffered six consecutive official defeats, a run that supporters hope to finally break. The recall at the Stade de France, organized by Sports Football Red Devils Video, aims to revive the memories and inspire new performances.

The preparation camp in Bordeaux, followed by a camp in Haillan before Euro 2016, shows how Belgium structured its preparations around these decisive matches. The memory of these two victories remains a benchmark for the future of the Red Devils.
