Tessa Wullaert Declines Immediate Return to Belgium

Tessa Wullaert, currently without a club, confirmed she will not return to Belgium yet. She said she still has ambition and energy. The statement came as the Belgium women's national team, known as the Red Flames, prepare for two qualifying matches for the 2027 World Cup. The fixtures are scheduled in the coming weeks. The first qualifier pits the Red Flames against Luxembourg, a lower‑ranked side in the competition. Belgium will aim to capitalize on the mismatch.

The second qualifying match follows shortly after, completing the pair of crucial games. Success in both matches is needed to secure a favorable group position. Wullaert, a former captain and prolific scorer, remains available for selection despite lacking a club contract. Her continued involvement adds depth to the Red Flames' attacking options. The Red Flames' next squad announcement will reveal whether Wullaert joins the lineup for the Luxembourg clash. The outcome of the qualifiers will shape Belgium's path toward the 2027 World Cup.
