There will be 6 matchdays for the Nations League next year. If we are in Group B (highly likely) we will be in a group of 3 so will only play on 4 of those matchdays. This will leave 2 dates free for friendlies if a national association so desires.

Not completely. As I said above we'll still have a couple of spare dates for friendlies but there'll thankfully be far fewer of them then we currently have. |

I thought The introduction of the nations league would pretty much put a stop to friendly??? |

Given that we're part-hosting Euro 2020, I think it's great to have an alternative way of qualifying as back up. It would be heartbreaking not to qualify for this one!

re FIFA rankings - have FIFA confirmed they see this UEFA competition as earning the same ranking points as a World Cup or EURO qualifier?
I wouldn't be surprised if they recognise its weighting as something between a friendly - factor of 1 - and a full competitive qualifier (EURO or World Cup) - factor of 3. Edited by Dalymount79 - 18 Jun 2017 at 10:12pm |

I think that may have been part of UEFA's thinking. It'll count as competitive, I reckon.
Sure, ffs, don't the 18 qualifiers the South Americans each play count, along with the Copa America. They also count the labyrinthine qualifiers for CONCACAF and Asia, where it's not unheard of for teams to play 20 games. They have to count the Nations League. |

The league is a qualifying competition in its own right so FIFA will have to recognise the games as qualifiers.

Anyone know when the actual draw for the groups is for this?
Rankings till October will be used to determine which teams are in which league, and we're most likely in B. Matches in September, October and November 2018. So I would assume the draw will be made somewhere at the end of this year. But haven't found anything online yet. |

I have March 2018 in my head for some reason and think it has something to do with either the seedings being decided or maybe a draw for that Nations League later in the year. Read it before somewhere.

March I think may be the time when the Euro2020 qualifying groups are drawn.
We'll be getting 2 holiday lotteries in the space of a few months |

I don't know when the draw will take place. However it is the rankings after the November playoffs that will be used. Lots of info here. |

I seem to remember seeing something about the draw being slated for December but as yet no date had been fixed. There's a uefa meeting where a few lose ends need to be tied up and they were going to do the draw shortly afterwards.

Cant see there being 2 major draws in December though it would make planning 2018 a lot easier
