For Mieke Moyaert's team, the victory against Slovenia wasn't just about advancing one step closer to the title but also about returning to the group of the top 8 teams in the tournament, something they hadn't accomplished since their debut in U19 World Championships in 2007.
Belgium qualified 3 more times after that but finished 9th in 2013, 17th in 2017 and 11th in 2021. Now, they will seek to achieve their best historical performance when facing Iran in the quarter-finals.
Eliot valued what they have achieved so far and dared to dream about continuing on this path: "We are very happy with what we have done so far. I see a lot of smiles on my teammates' faces and I'm happy too. I hope we can keep the track."
