By Chris Dinsdale

March 3, 2020 - The draw for the second Nations League tournament pits inaugural champions Portugal against France, Sweden and Croatia. The reigning champions will be looking to defend their title after their victory over the Netherlands in 2019. The Dutch team faces Italy, Bosnia and Poland in their quest to go one better this time.

The UEFA Nations League sees 55 teams split into four leagues (A, B, C and D) based on their UEFA ranking.

There will be six Matchdays between September and November 2020, with the winners of the four League A groups competing to become the Nations League champions in the Final Four competition in June 2021.

The two best-placed group winners will qualify for the FIFA World Cup play-offs, with a final chance to qualify for the 2022 tournament in Qatar.
