Manchester United midfielder Adnan Januzaj has declared his allegiance to Belgium, according to coach Marc Wilmots.
Januzaj - who is also eligible for Kosovo, Albania and Serbia and was linked with an eventual switch to England - could now be selected for the World Cup finals in Brazil this summer.
The 19-year-old, born in Belgium to Kosovan parents, has been in England since he was 16 but was reportedly being encouraged by his Albanian-Kosovar father to play for Kosovo.
Serbia - and Croatia and Turkey, who were also named as possibles - was never a realistic option for Januzaj though.
And it seems he has opted for the land of his birth, with coach Wilmots tweeting the news in French and Flemish.
Januzaj has scored four goals in 24 league appearances since making his debut in the Community Shield in August.
