Belgium B was a secondary football team that occasionally served as support for the Belgium national football team. At times they have played against the full national team of Luxembourg; [1] they have also played matches against 'B' or U-23 teams from other football associations. Since the team's first use in 1924, there have been at minimum 104 games; most of them against Luxembourg, but also against English, [2] French, [3] Italian, [4] Norwegian, [5] Portuguese, [6] and Swiss teams. [7] The last recorded match dates from February 2000 (a 1–1 draw against France B).
This team is assumed to have been always different from the Belgian U-21 team. However, it is not well documented whether this is the same Belgian team that played qualifiers for the Summer Olympics until 1988; neither is it clear whether age restrictions (e.g. under-25) have ever been applied.

The Belgium national football team officially represents Belgium in men's international football since their maiden match in 1904. The squad is under the global jurisdiction of FIFA and is governed in Europe by UEFA—both of which were co-founded by the Belgian team's supervising body, the Royal Belgian Football Association. Periods of regular Belgian representation at the highest international level, from 1920 to 1938, from 1982 to 2002 and again from 2014 onwards, have alternated with mostly unsuccessful qualification rounds. Most of Belgium's home matches are played at the King Baudouin Stadium in Brussels.
The Luxembourg national football team is the national football team of Luxembourg, and is controlled by the Luxembourg Football Federation. The team plays most of its home matches at the Stade de Luxembourg in Luxembourg City.
The Slovakia national football team represents Slovakia in men's international football competition and it is governed by the Slovak Football Association (SFZ), the governing body for football in Slovakia. Slovakia's home stadium from 2019 is the reconstructed Tehelné pole in Bratislava. Historically, up to the split in 1993, the team participated mostly as Czechoslovakia, while it also competed as Slovakia during the World War II.
The Iceland men's national football team represents Iceland in men's international football. The team is controlled by the Football Association of Iceland, and have been a FIFA member since 1947 and a UEFA member since 1957. The team's nickname is Strákarnir okkar, which means Our Boys in Icelandic.
The Wallis and Futuna national football team is the national soccer team of Wallis and Futuna. Wallis and Futuna is not a member of FIFA and, therefore, is not eligible to enter either the FIFA World Cup or the OFC Nations Cup, and due to the low investment in sport on the part of the country, it has been many years since it played an international match.
The Democratic Republic of Vietnam national football team was the national team of the Communist-controlled Democratic Republic of Vietnam from 1954 to 1976. It existed side by side with a separate South Vietnam team, which represented the Western-aligned southern portion of Vietnam. Unlike South Vietnam, North Vietnam's lack of diplomatic recognition on the part of many other states prevented it from ever joining either FIFA or the AFC. Due to its lack of membership in major football bodies, North Vietnam never participated in qualification for the FIFA World Cup or the AFC Asian Cup. Because of North Vietnam's international isolation, its national team mostly played against other Communist and Communist-sympathizing countries during its relatively short-lived existence.
The France national football B team is a national football team representing France that plays matches at a lower level than the France national football team. In France, the team is usually called "France A–". They commonly played matches against 'B' teams from other football associations, from 1922 to 2001.
The Brazil Olympic football team represents Brazil in international football competitions during Olympic Games and Pan American Games. The selection is limited to players under the age of 23, except three overage players. The team is controlled by the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF). Brazil U23 is one of the most successful teams in the Olympic football tournament, having won it twice.
