- Notes
- ART Art competitions (1912–1948) are not included in the medal table above, as they were non-sports events formerly part of the Olympic Games.[nb 1] Belgium won a total of eight art competition medals (2 gold, 1 silver, and 5 bronze), across the 1920, 1932, and 1936 Summer Olympics.[4]
- MIX At the 1900 Summer Olympics, the bronze medal in the football tournament, won by a student selection with players from the Université libre de Bruxelles competing as a mixed team—composed primarily of Belgian athletes alongside a few non-Belgian participants—was attributed to Belgium.[5][nb 2]

Football
[edit]Belgium's Olympic debut in 1900 included a men's football team, which is currently recognized as bronze medalists. The team's next appearance was as the host of the 1920 Games, at which the Belgian men won gold. Belgium competed again at the next two Games (1924 and 1928), but then did not appear again until 2008. That year, Belgium reached the semifinals but then lost twice to finish fourth.
Belgium has not appeared at the Olympics in women's soccer.

[edit]Notes
[edit]- ↑ In 1952, art competition medals, as well as the gold medal awards for feats in alpinism and aeronautics, were removed from the official national medal counts.[7] Only since 2021 have they been officially listed again by the IOC in the medal tables and respective National Olympic Committee (NOC) profiles on its website.[4]
- ↑ Until 2024, the IOC classified all teams composed of athletes from different countries in the early Modern Olympic Games as mixed teams (IOC code ZZX), regardless of whether they represented an established club. Since 2024, teams representing a club have been attributed to the club's country, even if they included foreign athletes.[8] Only ad hoc teams formed solely for the Olympic Games are now classified as mixed teams.[9][10]
