Romelu Lukaku has been selected for Belgium's 26-man squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, marking his fourth participation in this prestigious tournament. Previously taking part in the World Cups of 2014, 2018, and 2022, Lukaku continues to showcase his importance to the team, even though he faced challenges during the 2025-26 Serie A season with Napoli, limited to just five appearances due to injuries. Despite this, he holds the record as Belgium's all-time leading goalscorer, netting 90 goals in 124 international appearances.
In preparation for the upcoming tournament, Lukaku has returned to Belgium to focus on conditioning. Alongside him, notable players such as Kevin De Bruyne, Thibaut Courtois, and Axel Witsel have been included in the squad, all of whom are set to compete in their fourth World Cup. The 2026 edition, significant for being jointly hosted by Canada, Mexico, and the United States, promises to be an exciting event for fans and players alike.
