France won last year’s Nations League, beating Spain in the final when it was held in Italy.
What does relegation mean for England?
After finishing bottom of their group, England have been relegated from League A to League B.
This means that in the next installment of the Nations League, which will take place in 2024, England will be in League B.
This will mean that England cannot qualify for the Nation League finals until they make it back to League A.
The winners from the League B groups will be promoted to League A, whilst the teams finishing bottom of the groups will be relegated to League C.
The likes of Albania, Armenia, Finland, Iceland and Romania took part in League B during the 2022 season.
