The Executive Committee of the European Football Association (UEFA) decided to increase the number of teams participating in the knockout stage of the Nations League Today, Wednesday, as well as to change the system of European qualifiers for the Nations Cup and the World Cup.
After the end of the 2024 European Nations Cup in Germany, the group winners in the first level of the League of Nations will qualify for the knockout stage, where they will play together back and forth in the quarter-finals, so that the winners qualify for the semi-finals.
In the current tournament system, the group winners qualify directly for the semi-finals, and (UEFA) will add a play-off match to determine the relegation.
The new system for the European Nations Cup and World Cup qualifiers will see teams divided into 12 groups of four and five teams.
The winners of the 12 groups will qualify directly for the finals as usual, while the second-placed players will play playoff matches to qualify.
