A Mini-Tournament For England Next Summer?

Last updated : 11 August 2018 By Three Lions

The draw for the inaugural UEFA Nations League sees the Three Lions face Spain and Croatia in group A4.

As one of the 12 teams in League A of the new competition, England will play home-and-away fixtures against Croatia and Spain across the international dates scheduled for September, October and November 2018, starting with Spain's visit to Wembley under new coach Luis Enrique on 8 September.

Finish top of their group and England will meet the three other League A group winners in a finals tournament in June 2019.

The venue for the finals will be announced in December but will come from a three-country shortlist of Italy, Poland and Portugal who will then host two semi-finals, a third-place match and a final.
