    Nice fact from Uefa here - Gibraltar won a competitive game for the first time by beating Armenia in the Nations League in November 2018. In 2020-21, they remained unbeaten with two wins and two draws to clinch promotion to League C.

    So this draw will edge to a gradual peak, starting from the bottom with League D - let's have a look at who's in the pots for this one...

    No Uefa draw is complete without the governing body's Deputy General Secretary, so Giorgio Marchetti has joined the party to oversee proceedings.

    Robert Pires talking up the virtues of the 'National League' there. Reckon he's a Wrexham fan?

    Here are your draw specialists, and half a pretty decent midfield too...

    Former France international Robert Pires and Spain's Gaizka Mendieta will select the countries.

    We're being shown a Nations League montage, which means we must be edging closer to this year's draw...

    Before the draw, Uefa are handing out three prizes for their Equal Game Awards - those are going to Khalida Popal, Juan Mata and the German Football Association.

    Popal receives the award thanks to her tireless work in fighting gender stereotypes and empowering girls, women and minority communities through sport.

    Mata is recognised for his Common Goal initiative, while the DFB "champions diversity and its positive impact on football and society" through its Football for All programme.

  13. Who won it this year?published at 17:03 Greenwich Mean Time 16 December 2021

    That would be France, who beat Spain 2-1 thanks to goals from Karim Benzema and Kylian Mbappe after Mikel Oyarzabal had opened the scoring at the San Siro.

    Who will host the event, that's the big question? Let's hope they've earned their Uefa A badge in tournament draws after the Champions League fiasco earlier this week.

  16. Wales take their seat at Europe's top tablepublished at 16:56 Greenwich Mean Time 16 December 2021

    This will be Wales' first campaign in League A, the top division of the Nations League, so they can look forward to mixing it with the likes of Spain, France and Italy.

    Robert Page's side were promoted last year after winning their League B group ahead of Finland, the Republic of Ireland and Bulgaria.

    Wales will be one of the teams in Pot 4 when the League A groups are drawn, alongside Austria, the Czech Republic and Hungary.

  17. Who could the home nations face?published at 16:51 Greenwich Mean Time 16 December 2021

    Wales were promoted to League A last campaign and have a one in four chance of facing England.

    There are four teams in each group - one from each pot (based on teams' 2020-21 finishes) - playing each other home and away.

    England (pot 3) and Wales (pot 4) will end up in a group with France, Spain, Italy or Belgium and Portugal, the Netherlands, Denmark or Germany.

    Scotland are in League B, where the Republic of Ireland are among their potential opponents, as are Euro 2020 quarter-finalists Ukraine.

    Northern Ireland, relegated last time, are a top seed in League C. The four teams who finish bottom in that division will play off for two relegation places, with only seven teams (including San Marino and Andorra) in League D.

  18. Postpublished at 16:47 Greenwich Mean Time 16 December 2021

    Each of the 55 nations going into the draw will play four group games between 2 and 14 June, then a final two games from 22-27 September 2022.

    The four group winners from League A (the top division) will play in the finals in June 2023.

    The teams who win each group in the lower three divisions win promotion, with most of the teams who finish bottom getting relegated.

    Portugal and France have won the two Nations League titles to date.
