Spain will debut in the first women's Nations League in history against Sweden, Italy and Switzerland. For the first time, UEFA implements this system, with a format similar to the men's, which will serve to distribute the two European tickets for the 2024 Olympic Games, as well as to qualify for the 2025 Euro Cup.
In the draw held in Nyon (Switzerland), the former Spanish international and current Fiorentina player Vero Boquete played the innocent hand. The 51 teams have been divided into three leagues according to their classification in the latest FIFA ranking. Spain will be located in League A, but it started from pot 2, being fifth in the world ranking, which has prevented it from avoiding one of the top four -England, Germany, France and Sweden-.
His strongest rival will be the Sweden of the blaugrana Fridolina Rolfö. She will not be the only player from the culé team that the Spanish team will face, she will also face Ana Maria Crnogorcevic's Switzerland. Italy, emerging power in recent times, will complete the table of the Spanish.
Presented by UEFA as "a new era for women's football", the Nations League will decide the two teams that accompany France (host) at the Paris Olympic Games in 2024. A regular first phase will be played with round-trip matches in which the four teams that finish in first place will qualify for the final phase. With the semifinals and final, all in a single match, the two finalists will win the tickets for Paris 2024.
In addition, the Nations League will also establish promotions and relegations for the Euro 2025 qualifier that will be hosted by Switzerland. The regular competition will take place between September and December 2023 and the four best teams will face each other in the final phase that will take place from February 21 to 28.
