Precisely which countries will contend in the end of the season games will be chosen by what is, any reasonable person would agree, a really tangled set of rules. You can peruse them by clicking here.
Notwithstanding, it's additionally reasonable to say that the better you do in the Nations League, the more noteworthy your possibility arriving at the end of the season games.
The end of the season games will have a comparative organization to those as of late utilized in European World Cup qualifying - three 'ways' will be made, each including four groups. There will be two semi-finals and a last in every way.
This framework diverges from that utilized for Euro 2020 when the Nations League was liable for giving every one of the 16 groups to the end of the season games.
