Belgium national football team results
  Win    Draw    Loss

The 1980s were the most successful decade in the existence of Belgium's national football team, as they appeared in four of the five major tournaments (European and World Championships) and also reached their best positions so far: second place at Euro 1980 and fourth place at the 1986 World Cup. Apart from their appearances at end stages, they ensured qualification for the 1990 World Cup during the last years of the decade. Overall, the balance was positive with 39 wins versus 24 losses (and 21 draws).
