UEFA Nations League
Of our 16 representatives at the upcoming international break, 11 will be involved in the first-ever Women’s Nations League.
The competition serves as a potential route into the 2025 European Championships, with nations divided among three leagues based on their co-efficient ranking.
The winners of each of the top division ‘League A’ groups go on to compete in the finals later this year, being held in 2024.
Others will battle for promotion and relegation in the three leagues depending on their final group standings, which are then translated into the qualifying stages for the Euros.
