How did the lottery work?
The teams went for strength in seven pots: the UEFA Nations League pot, consisting of four qualified for the finals to be played next year, and pots 1 to 6. The countries in the UEFA Nations League pot were drawn to first place in Groups A to D to ensure they each had two free dice to be able to participate in the finals in June 2023.
The teams from Pot 1 were drawn for the first position in E to J. The ten teams in Pot 2 were drawn for second positions in the ten, proceeding with the draw in a similar way for Pots 3, 4 and 5 in order to fill the positions 3, 4 and 5, respectively. The three teams from Pot 6 were then ranked sixth in Groups H through J with six participants.
