NYON, Switzerland, - Dec 4 (Reuters) - UEFA attempted to explain the apparently inexplicable on Thursday as it unveiled the format for the League of Nations, the latest addition to the already crowded international calendar.
The bafflingly complex event will be run before, after and in conjunction with the qualifying competition for Euro 2020, featuring all 54 European national teams who will be divided into four divisions with promotion and relegation between each. Each division will be sub-divided into separate groups and there will be playoffs with the winners qualifying for Euro 2020, providing they have not already guaranteed a place via the regular qualifying tournament which is sandwiched in between.
