Though never on the pitch during an international match, he was selected for the Belgian national squad four times throughout his senior career - most notably in October 2000, in a game against Latvia during the qualifying stages of the 2002 World Cup. The match, which was held in the Skonto Stadium in Latvia, was supposed to see Jan Moons on the bench for the Belgians, it is reported, but Moons' passport was expired, and as such Van Der Straeten took his place.[1] Ultimately, only starter Geert De Vlieger played. Belgium won 4-0.[2]
