О программе UEFA Nations League

2020-2021 UEFA Nations League ： After the completion of the first season, UEFA decided to adjust the format of the Nations League starting from the 2020–21 season. The new league structure comprises 16 teams in Leagues A, B and C and seven teams in League D.   The transition to the newer 2020-21 format, occurred by making various one-time changes after the 2018-19 season, namely the suspension of relegations (of the bottom-placed teams) in both League A and League B, promoting the two best teams per group in both League C and League D (instead of only one team per group), and promoting the best third-placed team from League D.  This change to the format followed a collective consultation process, whereby all UEFA national associations reiterated their intent to further reduce the number of friendly matches. The number of competitive matches was increased from 138 to 162, thus increasing the commercial value and viewer attractiveness of the competition. All teams in the same group will play their last match simultaneously to increase fairness. More matches are played within Leagues A and B, with the two leagues now incorporating competition between the 32 highest-ranked UEFA national associations, instead of the previous system where Leagues A and B together only incorporated 24 of the highest-ranked UEFA national associations. In the top league, League A, the winners of the four groups go on to play in the Nations League Finals, with two semi finals, one third and fourth place decider, and one final to decide which team becomes the UEFA Nations League champion.  Teams can also be promoted and relegated to a higher or lower league. Starting in 2020–21, each group winner (there are four groups in Leagues A, B, and C, and two groups in League D) except for League A, who will go on to play in the Nations League Finals, is automatically promoted to the next higher league for the next tournament. Each team placing last in its group in the Leagues A and B is automatically relegated to the next lower league; as League C has four groups while League D has only two, the two League C teams that are to be relegated are determined by play-outs beginning in March 2022. Based on the Nations League overall ranking of the fourth-placed teams, the first-ranked team will face the fourth-ranked team, and the second-ranked team will face the third-ranked team. Two ties are played over two legs, with each team playing one leg at home (the higher-ranked team will host the second leg). The two teams that score more goals on aggregate over the two legs will remain in League C, while the losing teams will be relegated to League D. The UEFA Nations League is important for the European Cup, which provides additional places for the European Cup qualifiers to be promoted to the finals. The 4 levels of the UEFA Nations League will generate 4 places to qualify for the UEFA European Championship. If the top team of the group has passed the European preliminaries and entered the UEFA European Championship, the play-off places will be given to the best team in this level of league. If there are not enough 4 teams participating in the play-offs in this level of league, the places will be filled according to the overall ranking of the UEFA Nations League.
