Romelu Lukaku Reaches 90 Goals Before Belgium Vs Tunisia
Belgium vs Tunisia arrives on Jun 6, 2026, at 9:00 AM with Romelu Lukaku fresh off his 90th international goal. Belgium and Tunisia are both using the friendly as a final dress rehearsal before the 2026 FIFA World Cup, and the timing puts one of Belgium’s main attacking references back in focus.
Lukaku’s 90th Goal
Lukaku came off the bench and scored against Croatia on June 2 in Belgium’s 2-0 win. That finish gave him 90 international goals, a number Belgium will carry into a match meant to sharpen combinations rather than settle anything on the table.
Kevin De Bruyne and Jeremy Doku are also part of the Belgium picture here, but the biggest indicator from the Croatia match is simple: Belgium have a forward who is still turning limited minutes into scoring output. The 2-0 result also extended their recent form to three wins in their last five matches.
Belgium’s Recent Run
That stretch includes a 1-1 draw with Mexico, a 1-1 draw with Kazakhstan, a 5-2 win over the USA in March and a 7-0 win over Liechtenstein in World Cup qualifying in November 2025. The numbers show a side that has been scoring freely at times while still leaving room for cleaner finishing and tighter control before the tournament starts.
Belgium open their World Cup campaign against Egypt at Lumen Field in Seattle on June 15, so this friendly is one of the last chances to settle roles and timing. The matchup with Tunisia gives them a different test from Croatia, and it comes with no official team news provided for the fixture.
Tunisia’s World Cup Test
Tunisia arrive after a 1-0 loss to Austria on June 1, a result that followed a mixed run through late 2025 and spring 2026. They drew 0-0 with Canada in April, beat Haiti 1-0 in March, drew 1-1 with Tanzania in late 2025 Africa Cup of Nations fixtures and lost 1-1 to Mali in those same late-2025 fixtures.
They open World Cup Group F against Sweden on June 14 in Monterrey, then face Japan and the Netherlands in the group stage. For Tunisia, the Belgium friendly sits right at the edge of that schedule, and the only practical takeaway for viewers is that the match is available to watch live in the United States at 9:00 AM on Jun 6.
