SEATTLE, WA – June 15, 2026 – In a vibrant display of football passion, hundreds of Belgian supporters marched through the streets of Seattle on Monday, turning the city into a sea of red and yellow as they geared up for Belgium’s opening Group G match against Egypt at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The energetic procession, captured in a video shared by FOX Soccer and sourced from the official Belgian Red Devils Instagram account, showed fans chanting, waving Belgian flags, and raising their arms in unison while marching past downtown buildings and trees under sunny skies. Many wore official Red Devils jerseys featuring stars like Kevin De Bruyne, Romelu Lukaku, and Leandro Trossard.
“Belgium fans know how to make an entrance,” FOX Soccer posted alongside the footage.
The march was organized in connection with Belgium’s first match of the tournament at Lumen Field (referred to locally as Seattle Stadium) in Seattle, one of the host venues for the expanded 2026 World Cup across North America. Belgian fans had been gathering at spots like House of the Devils and other watch parties, with the RBFA and local organizers providing game-day guides for traveling supporters.
Belgium, traditionally a powerhouse with a talented “Golden Generation,” is facing Egypt in what could be a pivotal opening fixture. Many supporters view this tournament as a potential last major ride for key veterans. The Red Devils have made Western Washington their home base, training in the area with support from the Seattle Sounders FC organization.
Seattle has embraced the global spectacle, with local Belgian communities and international visitors creating a festive atmosphere. Similar fan zones and watch parties were set up across the city and even back in Brussels.
The 2026 World Cup continues to showcase the tournament’s unique ability to bring passionate fans from around the world together, transforming host cities like Seattle into temporary football capitals.
Belgium kicks off against Egypt on Monday evening at Lumen Field. Will the Red Devils’ famous supporters bring the same energy to the stands and help propel their team to a strong start?
