Why play Nations League games?
The UEFA Nations League, which saw Erling Haaland injured, replaced many international friendlies. It offers competitive matches between European national teams, with promotion and relegation between leagues. Crucially, it provides an alternative route to qualify for the UEFA European Championship and the FIFA World Cup, making these games more significant than mere exhibition matches.
