The Royal Belgian Football Association (KBVB) has announced that press officer David Steegen will depart from his role, a position he has held since March 2025. The federation stated that both parties decided to end their collaboration, though no specific reasons were given for the exit.

This change follows the departure of long-time team manager Piet Erauw and occurs as the Belgian national team enters a new period under head coach Mark Van Bommel ahead of the Nations League campaign.
