The Netherlands has been allocated 2023 UEFA Nations League finals, with matches set to take place in Rotterdam and Enschede.

The 2022-2023 campaign is the third season of the Nations League, with The Netherlands, Croatia, Italy and Spain qualifying for the finals as winners of their groups in League A.

A trophy is on offer for the winners, with France and Portugal the previous champions.

Semi-finals for the Nations League finals are due to be held on June 14 and 15 2023, with the third-place match and final following on June 18.

A draw for the semi-finals is due to take place in January 2023 in Nyon.

The 30,000-capacity FC Twente Stadium in Enschede and 51,000-seat Feyenoord Stadium are the selected venues for the final four.

The former held the UEFA Women’s Euro 2017 final, and the latter the men’s Euro 2000 final.

Portugal and Italy have previously held the Nations League finals in 2019 and 2021, respectively.

The Nations League has featured men’s national teams affiliated to football’s European governing body, and a Women’s Nations League is due to launch late next year, offering qualification places to the Paris 2024 Olympics, the Women’s European Championship and FIFA Women’s World Cup. –Insidethegames
