Next up is the mouth-watering clash against England at Wembley in  August, before the final qualifiers away to Macedonia and then at home to Croatia  in September and October respectively

Meanwhile, the Belgian FA have confirmed the venue for their qualifier at home to  Levein’s team in two months’ time.

The match will kick-off at 8.45pm Belgian time in the King Baudouin Stadium in Brussels on Tuesday, October 16.
