Background |
The UEFA Nations League was unanimously adopted at the XXXVIII
Ordinary UEFA Congress in Astana on 27 March 2014.
The format
for the fourth UEFA Nations League will again feature promotion and
relegation. The 54 European national teams—Russia are still suspended
from all UEFA activity—have been divided into four leagues in
accordance with UEFA's first Nations League project.
For the
first time, England will not participate in League A and therefore,
will not feature in the Finals in June 2025. England will participate
in League B.
The UEFA Nations League will be expanded with a new knockout round
to be played in March 2025, thereby creating continuity between the
league phase ending in November and the finals played in June. The
League A group winners and runners-up will participate in
home-and-away quarter-finals, with the winners of these ties
qualifying for the final tournament. The remaining group winners are
automatically promoted. The third-ranked teams of League A and the
runners-up of League B, as well as the third-ranked teams of League B
and the runners-up of League C, will play a home-and-away
promotion/relegation play-off. There will also be play-offs between
the two best-ranked fourth-placed teams from League C and the two
runners-up from League D.
The draw took place on Thursday, 8
February 2024 at the headquarters of UEFA at the Maison de la
Mutualité, 24 Rue Saint-Victor, Paris, France. League
B was drawn by Serbia's Aleksandr Kolarov.
