# 2025 UEFA Nations League Finals

The 2025 UEFA Nations League Finals will be the final tournament of the 2024–25 edition of the UEFA Nations League, the fourth season of the international football competition involving the men's national teams of the 55 member associations of UEFA. The tournament will be held from 4 to 8 June 2025, and will be contested by the four quarter-final winners from Nations League A. The tournament will consist of two semi-finals, a third place play-off and final to determine the champions of the UEFA Nations League.
Spain are the defending champions, having won the 2023 finals.

## Format

The Nations League Finals will take place in June 2025 and will be contested by the four winners of the League A quarter-finals, the newly introduced round for the 2024–25 season.
The Nations League Finals will take place over five days and be played in single-leg knockout matches, consisting of two semi-finals on 4 and 5 June (the first of which features the host team, if participating), and a third place play-off and final three days after the second semi-final on 8 June 2025. The semi-final pairings were determined by means of an open draw. All matches in the tournament will utilise the goal-line technology and video assistant referee (VAR) systems.
In the Nations League Finals, if the scores are level at the end of normal time:
* In the semi-finals and final, 30 minutes of extra time will be played. If the score is still level after extra time, the winner will be determined by a penalty shoot-out.
* In the third place play-off, extra time will not be played, and the winner will be determined by a penalty shoot-out.

## Qualified teams

The four winners of the League A quarter-finals will qualify for the Nations League Finals.
| Quarter-final winners | Date of qualification |
| Netherlands or Spain | 23 March 2025 |
| Croatia or France | 23 March 2025 |
| Denmark or Portugal | 23 March 2025 |
| Italy or Germany (host) | 23 March 2025 |

## Host selection

Following the introduction of the quarter-finals, the four participants of the Nations League Finals will not be known until 23 March 2025, a little over two months prior to the tournament. As a result, UEFA revised the bidding process from previous tournament editions. All teams participating in League A whose stadiums that meet the stadium requirements must submit a proposal to host the Nations League Finals. Following the league phase, the UEFA Executive Committee will designate one pair of quarter-finalists capable of holding the tournament, with the winner automatically becoming the host. Additionally, associations from outside League A may also submit a bid to hold the tournament as a neutral host, with their bids to be considered only if no pairing of quarter-finalists can offer sufficient guarantees or satisfy the hosting requirements.
UEFA requires the tournament to be played at two Category 4 stadiums, each with at least 30,000 net seating capacity (though there may be some flexibility regarding the second stadium). Ideally, the stadiums should not be located more than 150 kilometres (93 mi), or a two-hour bus drive, apart. If hosted by a participating team, the larger of the stadiums should hold the first semi-final (featuring the host team) and the final. The bidding timeline is as follows:
* 18 January 2024: Applications formally invited
* 15 May 2024, 12:00 CEST: Closing date for registering intention to bid (non-binding) and preferred stadiums
* 4 September 2024: Bid requirements made available to bidders
* 23 October 2024: Submission of bid documents
* 16 December 2024: Host appointment by the UEFA Executive Committee
On 16 December 2024, the UEFA Executive Committee appointed the winner of quarter-final 4, between Italy and Germany, as the provisional hosts for the final tournament.

## Venues

Should Germany host the tournament, the matches will be played at the Allianz Arena in Munich (Germany's semi-final and the final) and the MHPArena in Stuttgart (the other semi-final and the third place play-off). Should Italy host the tournament, the matches will be played at the Juventus Stadium (both semi-finals and final) and Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino (third place play-off), both in Turin.

## Draw

The semi-final pairings were determined by means of an open draw on 22 November 2024, 12:00 CET, at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland, along with the draw for the League A quarter-finals and promotion/relegation play-offs. As the winners of the quarter-finals were not known at the time of the draw, they were represented by placeholders for the winners of quarter-finals 1 to 4. The first two balls drawn were allocated as the administrative home teams for each semi-final pairing, with the next two balls drawn allocated as their opponents. For scheduling purposes, the host team was allocated to semi-final 1 as the administrative home team. The administrative home team for both the third place play-off and final were predetermined as the teams which advanced from semi-final 1.

## Squads

Each national team has to submit a squad of 23 players, three of whom have to be goalkeepers, at least ten days before the opening match of the tournament. If a player becomes injured or ill severely enough to prevent his participation in the tournament before his team's first match, he will be replaced by another player.
