Belgium national football team results (1904–1919)

This is a list of the Belgium national team games between 1905 and 1919.

  Win    Draw    Loss

Throughout this period they only played friendlies, however, a substantial part of these can be considered to be part of minor tournaments, since all friendly matches against the Netherlands were played for a Cup: the Coupe Vanden Abeele during the matches in Belgium and the Rotterdamsch Nieuwsblad Beker when the encounter took place in the Netherlands. Throughout this period Belgium had their first international duels with France, Germany, Italy, Sweden and Switzerland. Because of the First World War, no matches were played in the years 1915–1918.

Between their first match against France in 1904 and 1919, Belgium played in 47 matches, resulting in a negative balance of 24 losses against 18 wins (and 5 draws).
