Although born in La Louviere, Belgium to Carine and Thierry Hazard, Eden grew up in Braine-le-Comte, the eldest child of four. His parents were both professional football players as well, which led to Eden and his siblings having a very suitable environment for future football players. They lived beside a football training ground, and his parents made sure they had whatever they needed to become players.
Hazard’s career began at age four, when he played for his hometown club, Royal Stade Brainois. At the age of twelve he moved to Tubize, where he was spotted by a French club Lille scout, whose report on Hazard led to the club offering him a youth contract. In 2005 he went to Lille and spent two years training and learning the sport, before in 2007 signing his first contract with the club.
When he was 16, Hazard was moved up to the fourth level of French football while he was playing in the under-18 team.
