Uefa Nations League
The UEFA Nations League is a new tournament for European nations that will begin in the 2018-19 season. The format is similar to that of the UEFA Champions League, with 32 teams divided into four groups of eight. The top team in each group will advance to the knockout stage, where they will compete for the title of UEFA Nations League champion.
The idea behind the UEFA Nations League is to create more competitive and interesting matches between European nations, as many friendlies are often one-sided affairs. This will also help reduce the number of meaningless international friendlies played during the club season. In addition, it will give smaller nations a chance to compete against larger countries on a more level playing field.
The first edition of the UEFA Nations League will take place from September 2018 to June 2019. It is sure to be an exciting tournament and one that we will all be keeping a close eye on!
