# Fédération royale belge de football (RBFA/URBSFA)

Data breach — High

On 2 October 2026, a user of a cybercriminal forum offered for sale a database that they attribute to the Royal Belgian Football Association. The seller claims 346,685 unique full names, along with records on players, team members, clubs, teams, referees and matches, covering 13 seasons from 2015 to 2027. The samples mainly show names, dates of birth, clubs and sports statistics, part of which may already be public. Contact details, addresses and VAT numbers are also claimed. The Association has not confirmed these volumes, and a compromise of its systems has not been established.

Names combined with dates of birth, a club and, according to the claim, addresses and contact details could be used for targeted phishing or impersonation attempts.
