Notes

  1. ^ Note that the friendlies against Romania on 14 November 2012 and against Luxembourg on 26 May 2014 are not FIFA-recognised due to an excessive number of substitutions according to the Laws of the Game.[1] The Belgian and Czech football federations were too late in asking that the match against Czech Republic on 5 June 2017 would be official.[2]
  2. ^ According to the "three points for a win" standard
