Progression of Belgium association football caps record

This is a progressive list of association footballers who have held or co-held the record for international caps for the Belgium national football team.

Criteria

For the early decades, counts of caps were often considered unreliable. RSSSF and IFFHS have spent much effort trying to produce definitive lists of full international matches, and corresponding data on players' international caps and goals. Using this data, the following records can be retrospectively produced. Note that, at the time, these records may not have been recognised.
