on 11 october 1900, beerschot ac honorary president jorge díaz announced that antwerp would host a series of challenge matches between europe's best football teams. after some organisational problems, on 28 april 1901, beerschot's pitch hosted its first tournament, in which a belgian a-squad and a dutch b-team contested the coupe vanden abeele. belgium won, and beat the netherlands in all three follow-up matches; fifa does not recognise these results because belgium fielded some english players. on 1 may 1904, the belgians played their first official match, against france at the stade du vivier d'oie in uccle; their draw left the évence coppée trophy unclaimed. twenty days later, the football boards of both countries were among the seven fifa founders. at that time, the belgian squad was chosen by a committee drawn from the country's six or seven major clubs. in 1906, the national team players received the nickname red devils because of their red jerseys, and four years later, scottish ex-footballer william maxwell replaced the ubssa committee as their manager. from 1912, ubssa governed football only and was renamed ubsfa. during the great war, the national team only played unrecognised friendlies, with matches in and against france.
