European champion Spain was drawn against the Netherlands in the quarterfinals of the Nations League on Friday, while France was paired with Croatia in a rematch of the 2018 World Cup final.

Italy will face Germany and Portugal will play Denmark.

Spain is also the defending Nations League champion after winning the tournament last year.

The quarterfinalists advanced by placing first or second in the four Nations League top-tier groups that finished this week.

The two-leg quarterfinals will be played on March 20 and 23. The winners advance to a Final Four mini-tournament scheduled for June 4-8 and which will be hosted by one of the teams involved.

The four semifinalists will not be available to start qualifying games for the 2026 World Cup until September.
