2024 UEFA Nations Shield

The UEFA Nations Shield is a football association official recognition, awarded by UEFA—the football governing body in Europe—to the best national team of the qualification process to the  FIFA World Cup and the UEFA European Championship.

First awarded in 1958, it has since functioned on a biennial basis. The procedure takes into account all the matches played in the main phase, discarding all eventual play-off games necessary to break ties or to assign the remaining slots not already attributed to the best-ranking teams in the groups. The recognition is awarded to the qualified team with the highest ratio of points obtained in proportion to the games played (points per game).

Germany is the most succesfull team—they are the current holders, having obtained their sixth title in the 2022 edition.

Rules

As follows:

  1. Points per game;
  2. Goal difference per game;
  3. Goals scored per game;
  4. Draw.

2024 UEFA Nations Shield

The UEFA Nations Shield is a football association official recognition, awarded by UEFA—the football governing body in Europe—to the best national team of the qualification process to the  FIFA World Cup and the UEFA European Championship.

First awarded in 1958, it has since functioned on a biennial basis. The procedure takes into account all the matches played in the main phase, discarding all eventual play-off games necessary to break ties or to assign the remaining slots not already attributed to the best-ranking teams in the groups. The recognition is awarded to the qualified team with the highest ratio of points obtained in proportion to the games played (points per game).

Germany is the most succesfull team—they are the current holders, having obtained their sixth title in the 2022 edition.

Rules

As follows:

  1. Points per game;
  2. Goal difference per game;
  3. Goals scored per game;
  4. Draw.
