TICKETS: ENGLAND V DENMARK
England will face Belgium, Iceland and Denmark in the UEFA Nations League later this year, following Tuesday’s draw in Amsterdam.
Three Lions manager Gareth Southgate was at the draw, which took place at the Beurs van Berlage Conference Centre in the Dutch capital, and saw his side lined-up in group two of League A with former Portugal star Luis Figo making the draw.
And it sees England up against Belgium again, following their two meetings at the 2018 FIFA World Cup, when Roberto Martinez’s side enjoyed two victories over the Three Lions.
It also sees England take on Iceland, for the first time since their meeting in the knock-out stages of UEFA EURO 2016, when Roy Hodgson’s side slipped to defeat in Nice.
For Denmark, it’ll be a second trip to England in 2020, as they’re also visitors to Wembley Stadium later this month for a EURO 2020 preparation game.
Fixtures in the group stage will be held between September and November, when teams will play each other home and away.
The four group winners of League A will qualify for the UEFA Nations League Finals in June 2021 that feature semi-finals, a third-place match and the final.
The group winners in Leagues B, C and D gain promotion and those who finish bottom of the groups in Leagues A and B will be relegated.
England finished third in the inaugural Nations League last June, when they beat Switzerland in Portugal after previously losing to the Netherlands in extra time of their semi-final.
