About Jérémy Doku
Jérémy Doku is a confirmed forward in Belgium's 26-man squad for the 2026 World Cup, named in the 15 May 2026 squad announcement under captain Youri Tielemans. The Manchester City winger is 24 at kick-off and brings 41 senior Belgium caps and seven international goals into the tournament, returning for a second senior World Cup after the group-stage exit at Qatar 2022.

Rudi Garcia's side won UEFA Group J to qualify on 18 November 2025, with 491 box touches and 201 take-ons attempted in qualifying — both the most in the European section, a marker of the wide attacking volume that defines the side's recent shape.

Playing Style
Doku is a winger known for speed and dribbling — a ball-to-feet runner who constantly changes his positioning to present a progressive passing option. Naturally right-footed but with a strong left, he uses both feet after cutting in from the right or to cross from the left. Low centre of gravity, body control and rapid change of pace make him effective in one-on-one situations, with shoulder drops and drag-back spins part of the package.
World Cup History
Doku has played at one previous World Cup. At Qatar 2022 he was called up by then-manager Roberto Martínez and made his World Cup debut as a substitute in Belgium's final group match against Croatia, with the team eliminated at the group stage.
The 2026 World Cup is his second senior World Cup with Belgium. Rudi Garcia manages the squad this time, with Doku's international ledger reading 41 caps and seven goals as of 1 April 2026.

Goal Rush Impact
On the £24m Belgium slot within the game's £200m card budget, Doku is the wing runner. Speed, dribbling and one-on-one effectiveness from either flank define what he brings to the Tier 2 team card, with the take-on volume from qualifying — Belgium led UEFA Group J on that count — feeding straight into Garcia's 4-3-3. Group G opens against Egypt at Lumen Field in Seattle on 15 June.
