Wales and the 2018 Nations League
The 55 UEFA members were divided into the four Leagues with 12 teams in League A, 12 teams in League B, 15 teams in League C, and 16 teams in League D. Seeding was determined according to the UEFA national team coefficients after the conclusion of the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
Wales were ranked 14th amongst UEFA members and therefore placed in Pot 1 of League B and drawn into Group B4 alongside the Republic of Ireland and Denmark.
