Belgium national football team results (1904–1919)
Wikimedia list article
This is a list of the Belgium national team matches between 1905 and 1919.
However, throughout this period, they only played friendly matches. A substantial part of these can be considered to be part of minor tournaments, since friendly matches against the Netherlands were played for the Coupe Vanden Abeele during the matches in Belgium and the Rotterdamsch Nieuwsblad Beker, when the encounter took place in the Netherlands. Belgium also had their first international matches with France, Germany, Italy, Sweden, and Switzerland. Due to the First World War, no matches were played between 1915 and 1918.
Between their first match against France in 1904 and 1919, Belgium played in 47 matches, resulting in a negative balance of 24 losses against eighteen victories and five draws.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Belgium national football team results (1904–1919)” as wikimedia list article. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as wikimedia list article. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 3, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q16820466. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1905, 1919, 1915 and 1918.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
