Belgium-Türkiye is scheduled for Tuesday 22 September at 9:00 am on court 3 at Pádel G24 in Madrid, with an official YouTube stream. Belgium’s men have not yet qualified for the 2026 FIP World Cup: they are competing in Madrid for one of the two European places available for Doha. Belgium is in Group E with Türkiye and Slovakia. The World Cup final stage will be played in Doha from 2 to 7 November 2026.

Belgium-Türkiye at 9:00 am: three pairs announced

Padel Belgium has published the line-up for the opening tie. Bram Coene and Joris De Weerdt are listed as the first pair, Maxime Deloyer and Nathan Lambrechts as the second, followed by Maxim De Peuter and Maxime De Roose. The official FIP order of play confirms Belgium-Türkiye at 9:00 am on court 3.

Several members of this squad regularly compete in FIP events. Nathan Lambrechts, whose selection for Madrid was previously covered by Actu Padel, partners Deloyer for the opening tie. On his personal website, Maxime Deloyer explains what representing Belgium has meant in his career:

“I’ve had the chance to represent my country on several occasions.”

Belgium shares Group E with Türkiye and Slovakia

The official FIP group page places Belgium, Türkiye and Slovakia in men’s Group E. The European qualifier brings together 55 national teams across the men’s and women’s events, representing 29 countries. Only two men’s places are available for the World Cup final stage.

Belgium’s women are not taking part in the European qualifier. The FIP already lists them among the nations qualified for Doha, alongside Spain, Argentina, Italy, Portugal, the Netherlands, Sweden, France, Brazil, Qatar and the United States. Belgium’s men still need to secure their place in Madrid.

Belgium-Türkiye live on YouTube

The official Belgium-Türkiye YouTube stream is scheduled from 9:00 am. The FIP event page also brings together the live stream, order of play, groups and results. Padel Belgium confirmed the Belgian line-up in an Instagram post published before the tie.

The result against Türkiye will produce the first Group E standings before Belgium’s other group tie against Slovakia. Official scores and updates remain available on the FIP European qualifiers page.
