the men's team
(Brussels, Belgium; 6 May 1928) (Prague, Czechoslovakia; 28 April 1947) (Sofia, Bulgaria; 23 June 1957)
The Belgium men's national basketball team has represented Belgium in international basketball since 1928. The supervising body for the national team is Basketball Belgium.
Belgium has qualified for the EuroBasket 19 times throughout their history, achieving their best result at the event in 1947, where they finished in fourth place. Moreover, Belgium has competed at the Olympic Games on three occasions, in 1936, 1948, and 1952. However, Belgium is still in pursuit of making their first appearance at the FIBA World Cup.
The team is nicknamed and also represents itself as Belgian Lions.
History
1920s–1950s
Belgium played in their first official match on 6 May 1928, a 17–31 loss against France in Brussels. Belgium became a member of FIBA in 1933. In 1935, Belgium participated in the first European Basketball Championship. In their first game of the tournament, Belgium was defeated by Spain 25–17. Following the loss, Belgium was unable to advance into the semi-finals, and completed the rest of the competition in the classification round.
At the 1936 Olympic Games, Belgium was quickly eliminated, after posting an (0–2) record during their tournament stint. Ten years later, Belgium reappeared on the international stage at EuroBasket 1946. Entering the competition, the national team lost their only two games of the preliminary round, which sent them into the classification phase. There, Belgium earned a victory against Poland 22–39. The team would pick up one more victory, over Luxembourg, to finish the event in seventh place. A year later, Belgium was back on the continental level for EuroBasket 1947. After dropping their first game of the tournament to Egypt, the national team turned around to heavily defeat Albania 114–11. In their final match of the preliminary round, Belgium won again, this time against Italy to advance. Belgium opened up the second group phase of the competition with a win over France 26–27. However, the team would go (2–2) for the rest of the event, including the classification round, for a fourth place finish. At the 1948 Olympic Games, Belgium failed to advance past the preliminary phase, and was once again relegated to the classification round to complete the event.
In 1950, Belgium participated in a European qualifying tournament for the inaugural FIBA World Cup. Ultimately, the team missed out on the competition, after narrow losses to Spain and Yugoslavia. The following year, Belgium entered the EuroBasket 1951, where the team went undefeated in the preliminary round at (3–0). However, the team would endure a complete reversal of their results in the quarter-final round, losing all three of their matches and being sent into the classification phase to finish out the tournament.
At the 1952 Olympic Games, Belgium made their third appearance in the competition, losing two out of their three matches, and failing to make it past the tournament's first round. Heading to EuroBasket 1953, the struggles for Belgium on the international stage continued, as the national team posted a (1–2) record in the preliminary round and was sent into the classification phase to closeout the event.
After a disappointing tournament for Belgium, the team declined to enter the competition in 1955, and instead entered the event in 1957. However, Belgium would once again compile subpar preliminary phase results at (0–3), and relegated to the classification round. Belgium would lose their first two matches of the phase, before earning their first win of the competition against Austria 58–70. Following the victory, Belgium prevailed in three out of their next four games, including a 90–48 win over Albania in their final game of the tournament. That was where national team guard Eddy Terrace scored (63 points), which set a single game EuroBasket record to that point. Two years later, Belgium made their seventh appearance in the competition for EuroBasket 1959, where they garnered a (2–1) record in the preliminary stage to qualify for the semi-final round. Although after losing two of the three games in the round, Belgium's chances for a medal finish were gone.
1960s–1990s
Heading into the 1960s, Belgium's first competition of the decade came at the EuroBasket 1961. After finishing second in their preliminary round group, the team advanced into the second group phase. However, even after winning three out of their four games in the round, Belgium was eliminated from medal contention. Two years later, at the EuroBasket 1963, Belgium won their opening match of the competition against Turkey 71–52. Although they would only manage to split their next six games in the round (3–3), and sent into the classification bracket to finish the tournament. In the ensuing years for Belgium, frustration continued to mount, as they would only qualify for the Euros once (1967), over the next fourteen years.
At EuroBasket 1977, Belgium hosted the event for the first time, and won their opening game 107–98 against Finland. However, the national team would lose three of their next four games in the preliminary round, and once again have to finish the competition in the classification stage. Two years later, Belgium's disastrous performance at the EuroBasket in 1979, culminated with the team going winless (0–7); and completing the tournament in last place. Following the event, Belgium failed to qualify for every major international competition during the 1980s. Fourteen years after competing in their last EuroBasket, Belgium qualified for the tournament in 1993. In Belgium's first game of the event, the national team defeated Slovenia 61–82. Ultimately, the victory for Belgium turned out to be their only one of the tournament, as they lost their next five games before being eliminated.
2000s–2010s
After the turn of the century, the arrival of Belgium at the EuroBasket in 2011, marked the first time the national team qualified for the continental stage in 18 years. However, they would endure a disappointing tournament, losing all five of their preliminary round matches to be eliminated. Two years later, the team made it back to the competition for EuroBasket 2013. Following a 57–58 loss to Ukraine in their first game of the tournament, Belgium displayed resilience in their second game, in a 73–77 overtime victory against Germany. Belgium went on to finish the preliminary phase with a (2–3) record, to advance into the second round. There, the team lost two of their three games before exiting the event. Belgium qualified for EuroBasket 2015, after finishing (5–1) during qualifying. Entering the finals, Belgium split their first two games of the competition, before earning a buzzer-beating win over Lithuania 74–76. Belgium would finish the group stage with a (3–2) record to advance. Although in the Round of 16, Belgium would be eliminated by Greece 75–54.
To reach EuroBasket 2017, Belgium once again went (5–1) during their qualifying campaign to make the finals. However, Belgium failed to sustain the momentum achieved during their qualification period, and were eliminated after a (1–4) record in the group stage. The struggles for Belgium would continue during European Qualifiers for the 2019 FIBA World Cup, as the team was ousted from the qualifiers following a (1–5) record.
2020s–present
Belgium entered Pre-Qualifiers for the EuroBasket 2022, where the national team went undefeated at (4–0), to move closer to clinching qualification. In the Qualifiers, Belgium completely dominated Lithuania at home in their first game 86–65. Following the victory, Belgium would go on to finish top of their qualifying group, to reach their fifth consecutive Euro finals. Drawn into Group A at the tournament, Belgium split their first two games of the event, prior to their impressive 83–73 win against the eventual champions Spain. Although after making it through the group stage, Belgium was eliminated in the Round of 16 to Slovenia 88–72.
Following the tournament, Belgium went through European Qualifiers for the 2023 FIBA World Cup, where they finished their campaign with a (6–6) record, and failing to qualify. In February 2024, after Belgium defeated Slovakia 60–75 in their first match of the EuroBasket 2025 qualifiers, they took down the EuroBasket 2022 champions Spain, 58–53, to move to (2–0). Belgium went on to eventually qualify for the finals with an (3–3) record, to make their 19th appearance at the competition. However, after being drawn into Group D at the event, Belgium lost three of their first four games, before winning their final group stage match against co-hosts Poland 69–70, to be eliminated.
