Nations League: What is it, how does it work, and which teams are involved?

What is the Nations League?

The Nations League is a new international football competition involving the senior men's national teams of UEFA member associations.

It was established in 2018 to replace friendly matches and provide more competitive and meaningful football for national teams at all levels.

How does the Nations League work?

The Nations League is divided into four divisions, with each division containing four groups of three or four teams.

Teams play each other home and away in their groups, with the top team in each group promoted to the higher division and the bottom team relegated to the lower division.

The winners of each division then compete in a play-off tournament to determine the overall winner of the Nations League.

Which teams are involved in the Nations League?

All 55 UEFA member associations are involved in the Nations League.

The teams are divided into the four divisions based on their UEFA coefficient, which is determined by their results in international competitions over the past five years.

The current Nations League winners are France, who defeated Spain in the 2021 final.
