At the June Nations League finals, Italy, the defending European champion, will play Spain, while Croatia, a semifinalist at the 2018 World Cup, will play the Netherlands.

Italy, who missed the World Cup in Qatar for the second time in a row, won their group ahead of Hungary to advance to the Nations League semifinals. This group also included Germany and England.

The Azzurri were defeated 2-1 by Spain at the same stage of the competition in 2021 before losing to France in the championship game. Spain stands in Roberto Mancini's team's way of the championship game.

Luis de la Fuente will take over as Spain's head coach after Luis Enrique left the team following their unexpected World Cup loss against Morocco. Spain defeated Portugal to win Group A2.

The Netherlands, who lost in the final of the 2019 Nations League Finals in Portugal, will play Croatia at home in Rotterdam's De Kuip.
