New Zealand meet Belgium in a group stage Group G tie at BC Place in Vancouver. New Zealand return to the World Cup as Oceania's representatives, qualifying directly thanks to the expanded format. The All Whites famously went unbeaten in the 2010 group stage. Captain and striker Chris Wood provides their main attacking threat.
Belgium arrive with their own ambitions. Belgium's golden generation peaked with third place in 2018 and the world number one ranking. Now in transition under Rudi Garcia, the Red Devils still rely on the brilliance of Kevin De Bruyne. They blend veteran experience with emerging young talent.
