The group stage of the Nations League is over. Now it’s time for money time. Like every year, UEFA meets the nations concerned in Nyon to carry out several draws. First of all, there are the posters concerning the relegation and promotion playoffs between the four Leagues. Starting with the posters between the two best fourth-placed teams in League C (Latvia, Luxembourg) and the two best second-placed teams in League D (Malta, Gibraltar).
Then, the four third-placed groups in League B (Slovenia, Georgia, Iceland, Republic of Ireland) will face the four second-placed groups in League C (Slovakia, Kosovo, Bulgaria, Armenia). The third draw will concern the duels between the four third-placed groups in League A (Scotland, Serbia, Hungary, Belgium) and the four second-placed groups in League B (Greece, Austria, Turkey, Ukraine).
France assured of avoiding the Spanish ogre
Finally, UEFA will proceed to the most anticipated draw of the ceremony, namely that of the quarter-finals. A draw that concerns France. Coming first in the group at the last minute after their great victory in Italy, the Blues are guaranteed to be seeded. Which allows them to avoid the Spanish title holders and European champions, Germany and Portugal. You will have understood, the possible opponents of Didier Deschamps’ men are the Netherlands, Denmark and Croatia (the regulations prohibit falling on Italy).
And that’s not all since there will also be the draw for the semi-finals. As a reminder, all the playoff matches and the quarter-finals will take place on Thursday March 20 and Sunday March 23, 2025. The semi-finals are scheduled for June 4 and 5, 2025. The match for third place and the final will take place on Sunday June 8, 2025.
