2023–24 UEFA Women's Nations League A
The 2023–24 UEFA Women's Nations League A is the top division of the 2023–24 edition of the UEFA Women's Nations League, the inaugural season of the international football competition involving the women's national teams of the member associations of UEFA. League A will culminate with the Nations League Finals in February 2024 to determine the champions of the competition. The results will also be used to determine the leagues for the UEFA Women's Euro 2025 qualifying competition. Format
League A consists of the 16 top-ranked UEFA members in the UEFA women's national team coefficient ranking, split into four groups of four. Each team will play six matches within their group, using the home-and-away round-robin format with double matchdays in September, October, and November to December 2023. The winners of each group will advance to the 2024 UEFA Women's Nations League Finals. The competition also acts as the first phase of the preliminary competition for UEFA Women's Euro 2025, which will use an identical league structure. The fourth-placed team from each group will be relegated to League B, taking effect in UEFA Women's Euro 2025 qualifying. In addition, the third-placed teams of League A will advance to the relegation play-offs against the runners-up of League B. The winners of the home-and-away ties will enter League A for UEFA Women's Euro 2025 qualifying, while the losers will enter League B. The Nations League Finals will take place in February 2024 and be played in a knockout format, consisting of single-leg semi-finals, a third-place play-off, and a final. An open draw will determine the pairings and home teams for the semi-final matches and which semi-final will have its teams host the third-place play-off and final. The top two eligible teams in the Nations League Finals (excluding France) will qualify for the 2024 Olympic football tournament, while the winners of the final will be crowned as the champions of the UEFA Women's Nations League. England, Scotland, and Wales are not members of the IOC, thus are ineligible to participate in the Olympics, but the results of the England team, by agreement of the home nations and FIFA are taken to represent Great Britain's qualification bid for that tournament, while the results of Scotland and Wales will be ignored for those purposes, although Scottish, Welsh (and Northern Irish) players are eligible for the Great Britain team in the event of qualification. Seeding
Teams were allocated to League A according to their UEFA women's national team coefficient after the conclusion of the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup qualifying group stage on 6 September 2022. Teams were split into four pots of four teams, ordered based on their UEFA national team coefficient. The draw for the league phase took place at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland on 2 May 2023, 13:00 CEST. Each group contains one team from each pot. The draw started with Pot 1 and ended with Pot 4, with drawn teams assigned to the first available group in ascending order from A1 to A4. Due to winter venue restrictions, a group could contain a maximum of two of Sweden, Norway and Iceland. Groups
