What is the UEFA Nations League?

The UEFA Nations League is a national football team tournament organised by UEFA. Created in 2018, this competition aims to increase the competitiveness and interest of international friendlies by giving teams the chance to compete for a European title and places in the European Championship. Each edition of the Nations League is played over two years and culminates in a final stage that determines the champion.

How is the tournament structured?

The Nations League is divided into four leagues: A, B, C, and D, each with four groups of teams. The leagues are designed based on the national teams’ rankings, allowing teams of similar levels to compete against each other.
