Only three editions of the UEFA Nations League have been played so far, with Spain, France and Portugal getting their hands on the silverware.
The Nations League has been one of UEFA's more effective initiatives in recent years, replacing the dull, routine friendlies that often made international breaks seem lacklustre. Instead, fans now enjoy meaningful, competitive matches.
A total of 54 teams are participating in the Nations League. In League A, 16 teams are competing for the championship, while the 16 teams in League B are striving to secure a spot in the top division. Meanwhile, 16 teams in League C aim to climb to the second tier, and the six teams in League D are hoping to avoid the bottom rank.
Only teams from the top division can compete for the trophy, with other sides left to fight for promotion from League B and prove their mettle before joining the elite ranks.With the top European teams usually in the mix in League A, the final tournament sees the best in action. So far, three different countries have lifted the trophy. France and Italy are among the select few to have triumphed, with Spain currently holding the title as reigning champions.
