The Belgian Barbarians, Team Belgium, are getting ready to play Hungary this weekend as the IFAF 2020 European Championship group/qualification stage continue in Group B.

Belgium is coming off a 32-23 win over Team Israel earlier this month while the Hungarians defeated Spain 24-7 two weeks ago in Budapest.

These two teams faced each other three years ago in an international friendly and the Belgians came away with a 20-17 win.

Team Belgium head coach Spencer Wood has announced his 45 man roster which includes veteran signal caller Tomasz Firszt returning at quarterback. Firszt missed the game against Israel but is ready to go in this one.

Belgium and Hungary play in Group B along with Spain, Israel and Turkey.
