International Games | 12th - 19th November '25

So if they're seeded they get an easier draw ?

In essence yes but there are a few bogey teams in the wrong pots through winning Nations Leagues. It just means an 'easier' semi at home and potentially the final if the Pot 1 team gets knocked out.

There will be 4 pots of 4 teams.

----------Seeded--------
Pot 1 - Top 4 ranked qualifiers
Pot 2 - Next 4 ranked
--------Unseeded-------
Pot 3 - Next 4 ranked
Pot 4 - Best Ranked Nations League Winners not already qualified.

The format is:
Path A: Pot 1/Pot 4 v Pot 2/Pot 3
Path B: Pot 1/Pot 4 v Pot 2/Pot 3
Path C: Pot 1/Pot 4 v Pot 2/Pot 3
Path D: Pot 1/Pot 4 v Pot 2/Pot 3

1 legged semis. Pot 1 at home to Pot 4. Pot 2 at home to Pot 3.
1 legged final. Highest ranked pot left at home (not 100% on this if the pot 1 team goes out but assume it would be the case).

Best explanation for the outstanding teams I've found is this:

Some of the more unrealistic stipulations have been left off of that image, like Belgium losing to Liechtenstein which would put Poland in Pot 2 (assuming there is a winner in the Wales-North Macedonia game).

I think for home advantage and potentially home advantage in the final if they are lucky, Wales will want to win tonight. Where Ireland will want Wales to lose for the same reasons (North Macedonia ranked lower than them).
 
Well Scotland are going route 1 with Dykes leading the line. Quite a physical XI with Ferguson and McTominay in the middle. McGinnis not shy either

Scotland 1-2 Denmark
