A year ago UEFA at a meeting in Nyon approved the format of a newly created tournament called the League of Nations.

The standard qualifying tournament will determine 20 participants of Euro 2020. In the qualification of the team will be divided into ten groups of five or six teams. The two best teams of each group will reach the final stage.

Another 4 vouchers will be played with the help of the League of Nations.

The four best teams from each division (A, B, C, D) who still have not won a ticket to the Euro will be determined by four playoff chains, and each winner will compete at the European Championship 2020.

What will happen if there are fewer than four teams in the Division who do not qualify for the Euro?.

If, for example, in Division A of 12 participants 9 break through to the Euro through the qualifying tournament, then the top three in the playoffs will be joined by the best member from League B, who failed to make it to the playoffs in his League.

Example:.

Iceland, Poland and Switzerland are the only teams from Division A that did not qualify for the European Championship through the qualifying round.

In the Division In such teams 5, for example, the Czech Republic, Turkey, Northern Ireland, Denmark and Wales. In this case, the first 4 were in the playoffs for the exit to the Euro. Wales, like the next best division of the team, fills a free seat in the playoffs of Division A.

The Euro 2020 will be hosted by 13 cities in different countries, and therefore no one will get an automatic ticket. The qualifying cycle will not undergo major changes. It will not start in September, as it was before after the final stages of major tournaments, and in March 2019.
