In the League of Nations, the group winners earn the opportunity to play in a higher group next year. Namely, the team that wins in one of the C groups has a chance to start in one of the B groups, while the winners of the B groups will be strong in the A groups next year.
Those teams that have won the first two places in their groups, but have not previously qualified for the 2022 World Cup, will be eligible to participate in the World Cup qualification “play-off” round.
The League of Nations tournament is taking place for the second year. In the first season of the League of Nations, Portugal was crowned the winner.
