Twenty-four countries took Tuesday and Wednesday part of the prestigious wereldfinale, created by the in 2018 deceased Paul Bocuse in 1987. Since the establishment won Belgium six medals, but the last one dates back to 1999, when Ferdy Debecker bronze medal. This year the medals for Denmark (gold), Sweden (silver) and Norway (bronze).
