Italy will face Portugal and
Poland in Group 3 of Serie A of the Nations League, a new
competition organised by UEFA, according to a draw in Lausanne
Wednesday.
The first and second legs will be played between September
and November, UEFA said.
The UEFA Nations League is an international association
football competition, to be contested by the senior men's
national teams of the member associations of UEFA, the sport's
European governing body.
The first tournament is due to commence in September 2018,
after the 2018 FIFA World Cup, and the winner will be decided in
June 2019.
The competition will largely replace international friendly
matches currently played on the FIFA International Match
Calendar.
