Belgium Belgium B 2–1  Luxembourg
(Arlon, Belgium; 4 May 1924)

Belgium B was a secondary football team that occasionally served as support for the Belgium national football team. At times they have played against the full national team of Luxembourg;[1] they have also played matches against 'B' or U-23 teams from other football associations. Since the team's first use in 1924, there have been at minimum 104 games; most of them against Luxembourg, but also against English,[2] French,[3] Italian,[4] Norwegian,[5] Portuguese,[6] and Swiss teams.[7] The last recorded match dates from February 2000 (a 1–1 draw against France B).

This team is assumed to have been always different from the Belgian U-21 team. However, it is not well documented whether this is the same Belgian team that played qualifiers for the Summer Olympics until 1988; neither is it clear whether age restrictions (e.g. under-25) have ever been applied.
