What is the UEFA Nations League?
This new tournament will see European nations competing against each other in a league format. The top four nations will then compete in the ‘Final Four’, a summer showpiece event to be held in 2019.
The UEFA Nations League is the culmination of six years of planning by European football’s governing body.
What’s the format and how will it work?
A total of 55 nations will be divided up into four mini-leagues (A, B, C, D). League allocation will be determined by each country’s UEFA ranking in November 2017. The leagues will be tiered with the highest ranking nations in League A, the next highest in League B and so on.
Each league will then be split into groups, made up of three or four teams. At the end of each round of fixtures, four teams will be relegated to the league below and four teams will be promoted to the league above. They will play at their new league level in the next version of the competition, which will start in 2020.
The winners from each of the four groups in League A will compete in the Final Four in the summer of 2019.
