What is the Nations League?

The new competition was formed in 2018 to replace what UEFA called “meaningless friendly matches” with competitive games that put equal teams against each other.

For this, I created a league structure with four sections containing groups of national teams, then-from this edition-the new latitude’s length after the group stage between the winners of the upper group and the second place to determine any match in the finals.

In the quarter-finals, Spain defeated the Netherlands over fines, France also needed a penalty against Croatia, Germany defeated Italy 5-4 in quantitative, and Portugal defeated Denmark 5-3 in a total.

All the three previous winners in the competition – Portugal (2019), France (2021) and Spain (2023) – were included at the fourth end with the host Germany.

How important is the Nations League?

Spain used success in 2023 as a starting point to win the European Championship in 2024, and France reached the World Cup final in 2022 after winning the Nations League in the previous year.

While fans may struggle to remember the previous winners amid an increasingly crowded schedule, coaches and players welcome the competitive advantage that he provides.

For German coach Julian Najilsman, it is an opportunity to win his first title. Although it cannot be compared to winning a European championship or the World Cup, it will restore some pride in German football after the national team decreased after its victory in the 2014 World Cup.
