List of Belgium national football team hat-tricks

Since the inception of international association football matches, 28 Belgium male footballers have scored three or more goals (a hat-trick) in a game. The first player to score a hat-trick for Belgium was Pierre-Joseph Destrebecq, while on the books of Union Saint-Gilloise, in a friendly match against France in 1905.[1] Three players, Robert De Veen, Bert De Cleyn and Josip Weber, have scored five goals in one match. Romelu Lukaku has scored the greatest number of hat-tricks for Belgium, with four.

Belgium have conceded 44 hat-tricks since 1904, the most recent being scored by Haris Seferovic in a 2–5 UEFA Nations League loss against Switzerland.[2] Undoubtedly, the most famous hat-trick against Belgium came during the 1986 FIFA World Cup, when Belgium overcame three goals by Ihor Belanov to move past the Soviet Union into the quarter finals.[3]
