Belgium belatedly get their UEFA EURO 2016 qualifying Group B campaign under way as they take on Andorra, who made a relatively positive start to their campaign. Match background • Belgium have won both of their previous matches against Andorra, but by relatively narrow margins: 1-0 away and 3- 0 at home in UEFA EURO 2004 qualifying. • Andorra kicked off Group B with a 2-1 loss to Wales but for a while looked set to end their wait for a first point in EURO qualifying in 41 attempts. They led for 16 minutes until Gareth Bale cancelled out Ildefons Lima's sixth-minute penalty, then Bale hit the winner nine minutes from time. • The Pyreneans had not scored in their previous 18 competitive matches, and had not taken the lead in a competitive fixture since 13 October 2004, when they beat the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia 1-0 in a FIFA World Cup qualifier. • This is Belgium's first competitive game since they reached the 2014 FIFA World Cup quarter-finals; their opening Group B fixture against Israel was rescheduled for security reasons. • Belgium are unbeaten in nine competitive home matches (W5 D4) since losing 1-0 to Germany in their opening UEFA EURO 2012 qualifier. • Andorra midfielder Marcio Vieira celebrates his 30th birthday on the day of the Belgium match. • The nations' only meeting in a UEFA age-group tournament ended in a 4-0 loss for Andorra's Under-19s in 2010. In the only UEFA meetings between the nations' clubs, K. Lierse SK beat FC Encamp 7-1 over two legs in the 2004 UEFA Intertoto Cup first round.

EURO finals: The UEFA European Championship was a four-team event in 1960, 1964, 1968, 1972 and 1976 (when the preliminary round and quarter-finals were considered part of qualifying).

From 1980 it was expanded to an eight-team finals and remained in that format in 1984, 1988 and 1992 until 1996, when the 16-team format was adopted. UEFA EURO 2016 was the first tournament to be played as a 24-team finals.

Records of inactive countries A number of UEFA associations have been affected by dissolution or splits of member associations. For statistical purposes, the records of these inactive countries have been allocated elsewhere: therefore, all Soviet Union matches are awarded to Russia; all West Germany – but not East Germany – matches are awarded to Germany; all Yugoslavia and Serbia & Montenegro matches are awarded to Serbia; all Czechoslovakia matches are allocated to both the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

Abandoned/forfeited matches For statisical purposes, when a match has been started and then abandoned but later forfeited, the result on the pitch at the time of abandonment is counted. Matches that never started and were either cancelled or forfeited are not included in the overall statistics.
