Vancouver, June 25: New Zealand and Belgium will face off in a crucial Group G encounter on Saturday with both sides still chasing qualification for the knockout stage of the FIFA World Cup 2026.
Belgium head into the contest unbeaten but under pressure after drawing their opening two matches. The Red Devils began their campaign with a 1-1 stalemate against Egypt before being held to a frustrating goalless draw by Iran, leaving them with two points from as many games. For Belgium, victory over New Zealand now the only way to guarantee a top-two finish in the group. New Zealand, meanwhile, are dreaming of reaching the World Cup knockout rounds for the first time in their history. (Agencies)
