UEFA Nations League final four
SMA NEWS – LONDON
Spain have completed the line-up for the 2023 UEFA Nations League final four, joining Croatia, Italy and the Netherlands.
Álvaro Morata struck late in the decisive game against Portugal in Braga as a 1-0 win took Luis Enrique’s side to the top of Group A2. Italy had clinched their spot on Monday thanks to a 2-0 triumph at previous Group A3 leaders Hungary. On Sunday, the Netherlands secured their ticket following a 1-0 win against neighbours Belgium, while Croatia were made to work hard in Austria, where Marko Livaja and Dejan Lovren hit second-half efforts to seal a crucial 3-1 success.
The semi-finals will be played on 14 and 15 June 2023, with the final and third-place play-off to follow on 18 June. The hosts will be appointed in January 2023; the four sides in Group A4 – Belgium, Poland, Netherlands and Wales – all declared an interest.
