Ready to ExportAbout the Spain 2027 Nations League Bid
Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) President Rafael Louzán confirmed the formal submission of documents to UEFA to host the 2027 Nations League Final Four in June 2027.
The two selected venues combine Spain's flagship venue, the modernized Santiago Bernabéu in Madrid (capacity 84,744 with retractable pitch and roof), with the historic Estadio José Zorrilla in Valladolid (capacity 27,618), linked by Spain's high-speed rail corridor (AVE) in under an hour.
Tournament Operational Rules
Why José Zorrilla and the Bernabéu?
UEFA Nations League Final Four regulations require two major stadiums within close transit proximity. The AVE rail connection between Madrid-Chamartín and Valladolid Campo Grande allows traveling supporters and official delegations to base in either city without requiring regional flights.
Ticketing Quotas & UEFA Protocol
Each participating finalist federation receives an allocated fan quota (typically 30–35% of stadium capacity). The remaining tickets are assigned to the UEFA worldwide ballot, host city residents, and official UEFA partners.
Tournament Format
Four League A group winners qualify for the Final Four. Matchday 1 hosts Semifinal 1, Matchday 2 hosts Semifinal 2, followed by a rest day, concluding with the Third-Place playoff and the Grand Final on Sunday.
