Belgium Women's Euro 2022 squad: Team preview

Belgium are playing at their second European Championships, having qualified for the first time in 2017. Although they did not progress beyond the group stage, a 2-0 win over Norway was a significant upset and gave them their first ever win at an international tournament. Here they again have a tough group, featuring France, Iceland and Italy but victory at the Pinatar Cup will have been a big confidence boost.
