UEFA Nations League | Draw Press Kit

CONTENTS

The draw for the inaugural UEFA Nations League will be presented by Pedro Pinto, UEFA's Managing Director of Communications, and carried out by Giorgio Marchetti, UEFA's Deputy General Secretary. They will be assisted by Deco (Portugal), Vladimír Šmicer (Czech Republic), Jari Litmanen (Finland) and Aleksandr Hleb (Belarus). The UEFA President Aleksander Čeferin will get proceedings under way by unveiling the UEFA Nations League trophy. What is the background to the UEFA Nations League? The rejuvenation of national team football - hence the UEFA Nations League - stems from the desire of UEFA and its 55 member associations to improve the quality and standing of national team football. UEFA and its associations wanted more sporting meaning in national team football, with associations, coaches, players and supporters increasingly of the opinion that friendly matches are not providing adequate competition for national teams. Extensive consultation and discussions started as far back as the 2011 UEFA Strategy Meeting in Cyprus and continued at a series of Top Executive Programme (TEP) meetings over the following three years. The UEFA Nations League was unanimously adopted at the XXXVIII Ordinary UEFA Congress in Astana on 27

March 2014.

What is the basic format?

The format of the UEFA Nations League will feature promotion and relegation. The

55 European national teams have been divided into four leagues in accordance with

UEFA's national association coefficient rankings on 11 October 2017.

CALENDAR

Leagues A and B will consist of four groups of three teams. League C will comprise one group of three teams and three groups of four sides. League D will be formed by four groups of four teams. In each league, four group winners are promoted (or play in the finals, see below) and four teams are relegated for the next competition to be played in 2020. Within each league (A, B, C and D), the overall ranking will be calculated based on position in the group then points, goal difference, goals scored, away goals scored, wins, away wins, disciplinary points, coefficient ranking. The overall UEFA Nations League rankings will determine the composition of the draw pots for the subsequent European Qualifiers. In addition, the UEFA Nations League will provide teams with another chance to qualify for the UEFA EURO final tournament, with four sides qualifying through play-off matches which take place in March 2020 (see below).

GROUPINGS

The 55 participating teams were split according to their position in the UEFA National Team Coefficient Rankings following the end of the European Qualifiers for the 2018 FIFA World Cup (as per 11 October 2017, play-off results not included). League A includes the 12 top-ranked teams. The next 12 teams are in League B, the next 15 in

League C and the remaining 16 in League D.

The seeding pots were then further determined by the coefficients so each group within each league contains one team from each pot. League A includes the top-ranked sides and League D includes the lowest.
