Since the inception of international association football matches, 26 Belgium 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. Three players, Robert De Veen, Bert De Cleyn and Josip Weber, have scored five goals in one match. De Veen also scored the greatest number of hat-tricks, with three.
Belgium have conceded 43 hat-tricks since 1904, the most recent being scored by Dutchman Patrick Kluivert in a 5–5 friendly match draw with the Netherlands. 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.
