France, led by Tottenham Hotspur's Hugo Lloris (pictured), will play a friendly with Belgium at the start of next season as the teams gear up for the final phase of World Cup qualifying. Belgium will take on Les Bleus, who won the World Cup in 1998, on August 14 at Brussels’ Roi Baudouin Stadium. The match will act as a warm-up for Belgium’s World Cup qualifiers away to Scotland on September 6 and Croatia on October 11. Belgium currently top Europe’s Group A, leading Croatia on goal difference. France and Belgium have played each other 51 times, with the last encounter a 0-0 draw in November 2011 at the Stade de France in Paris.
