Which RBL players have booked their tickets to EURO 2024?

Lois Openda started in Belgium’s 1-0 victory over Serbia. Our striker was directly involved in Yannick Carrasco’s goal, which sealed the Red Devils’ win in the friendly match. Lois forced Serbia keeper Rajkovic into making a save and Carrasco scored the follow-up to give Belgium the lead. Lois was replaced by former Dortmund attacker Michy Batshuayi in the 67th minute.

Euro qualifiers for Xavi, Sesko and more

The last two matchdays of EURO 2024 qualifying will take place over the course of the November international break. Austria (Xaver Schlager, Christoph Baumgartner and Nicolas Seiwald), France (Castello Jr.)and Spain (Dani Olmo)have already confirmed their places at next year’s tournament, but there’s still work to do for RBL’s Xavi (Netherlands) and Benjamin Sesko (Slovenia) if they want their respective nations to qualify.

Xavi and Co. are the masters of their own destiny after an important 1-0 victory over Greece. The Oranje will be playing in Germany next year if they win their last two qualifiers against Republic of Ireland (Saturday, 20:45 CET) and Gibraltar (21.11, 20:45 CET).
Peter Gulacsi and the Hungary national team are one win away from qualifying for EURO 2024. They face Bulgaria on Thursday (18:00 CET) before clashing with Montenegro on Sunday (15:00 CET).
Yussuf Poulsen and Benjamin Sesko are also in prime position to qualify for next year’s European Championships. Our boys will face off against one another when Denmark play Slovenia on Friday (20:45 CET).
It’s a top-of-the-table clash in Group H, as both sides sit on 19 points. The team that comes out on top will qualify for EURO 2024.

Slovenia will face off against Kazakhstan in their final qualifier (20.11, 20:45 CET), whereas Denmark take on Northern Ireland (20.11, 20:45 CET).
Emil Forsberg and the Sweden national team can no longer finish above Austria and Belgium in Group F and will have to qualify for the Euros via the Nations League.

RBL duo have 2026 World Cup in their sights

For Amadou Haidara and Ilaix Moriba, the main priority is qualification for the 2026 World Cup in the USA, Mexico and Canada. Doudou and Mali will take on Chad (Friday, 20:00 CET) and the Central African Republic (21.11, 17:00 CET).
Ilaix and the Guinea national team will play against Uganda (Friday, 14.00 CET) and Botswana (21.11, 14.00 CET).
