The UEFA Nations League Trophy is inspired from the logo of the competition - the flag, representing all the 55 UEFA members national associations, elegantly wrapped around a flag pole. It is entirely made of sterling silver and on the inside has the colourful competition logo, thus reflecting on the silver surface. On the outside it has the same logo engraved in linear format, the logo of UEFA and the words 'UEFA Nations League'. The trophy weighs 7.5kg, is 71cm tall, was designed by the Portuguese branch of the international company Young & Rubicom Branding (Y&R) and was manufactured by the Italian company IACO Group.

2022/23 Nations League Last-Minute Replacement
One day before the Semi-Final and on the day of the beginning of the final phase of the 2022/23 UEFA Nations League, Alessandro BASTONI was declared unfit to participate in this phase after being sick with high temperature. Thus he was replaced in the squad by Alessandro BUONGIORNO, who although he was called-up by Roberto MANCINI to form part of the Italian National Team in the last two Azzurro matches and was also in the Pre-Final Squad for this final phase, he never played in Azzurro.

UEFA, the European Football Confederation, will be organizing the UEFA Nations League, a competition which will see the 54 UEFA associations members' national teams divided into a series of divisions based upon a ranking system formulated by using their recent results, where they would be promoted and relegated to other divisions according to their results within the group. The competition would take place on dates on the International match calendar that were previously allocated for international friendlies and would not affect the FIFA World Cup or UEFA European Championship qualifications, although the competition's final placing can replace any play-offs needed for qualification for these tournaments. Russia was disqualified from taking part due to their war aggression against Ukraine.
Since the 2nd Edition, UEFA reformed the format. All 54 UEFA national teams were still divided into four divisions (called Leagues), however League A, B and C was made up of 16 teams, each League divided in four groups of four teams each, whilst League D is composed of seven teams divided in two groups of four and three teams respectively. In each League all teams in each group will play against each other both home and away. These matches will be played in the June - September 2022 period.
The following year in June 2023, the winners of the four groups in the top division, League A, will go on to play in the Nations League Finals hosted in one European nation selected from the four finalists: two semi-finals, one 3/4 place final and one final to decide which team becomes the UEFA Nations League champion.
Teams will also be promoted and relegated to a higher or lower division. Each group winner in Leagues B, C, and D are automatically promoted to the next higher division for the next tournament, whilst each team placing last in its group in Leagues A and B will be automatically relegated to the next lower division. In League C, the two teams to be relegated will be determined by play-outs between the four teams placing last in each group.
