The first edition of the Women’s Nations League will be decided between France, Spain, Germany and the Netherlands. All four selections qualified for the Final Four of the competition last week, finishing in first place in their respective groups. See you now from February 23 to 28, 2024 for the semi-finals and finals. But before that, it’s time for the draw this Monday, 1 p.m., from UEFA headquarters.
No seed is designated, which means that France can face any opponent: Spanish world champions, German European vice-champions or the Dutch. The selection which will be drawn first will receive the semi-final on its territory. If France is to host, it will have to decide on a host city. Unlike the men’s Nations League, the Final Four is not held in a single venue.

The winners of the semi-finals will advance to the final; the losers will play the small final. For these matches too, a draw will take place to find out the name of the host country. In the best case scenario, the Blues could therefore receive twice. For Hervé Renard’s players, the stakes of this Final Four are limited to the prestige of winning the first edition. A qualifier for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, the Final Four will offer two places, awarded to the finalists.
But if the French team is one of the finalists, third place in the League of Nations will be the final ticket to Paris 2024. Host country of the Olympic Games, France is already qualified among the 12 participants in the Olympic tournament . “But we absolutely want to be one of the finalists,” Laurent Bonadéi, assistant coach of the Bleues, recently told us. That way, we won’t be able to say that we don’t deserve our place at the Games. »
