While the UEFA Nations League trophy and runners-up medals may have slipped through their fingers, the incentive to pick up a trinket and reclaim some honour before heading home is still very much foremost in the minds of those sides battling it out in the 3rd place playoff encounter in Stuttgart, which takes place 6 hours before the UEFA Nations League Final on June 8.

The 2024–25 edition of the UEFA Nations League is the fourth season of the competition, with national teams of the 55 member associations of UEFA having kicked off their campaigns in September last year. Following the six Matchdays of the league phase, the top-2 sides from the four League A groups progressed to the two-legged quarter finals in March. The four winners of those encounters, Germany, Portugal, France and Spain, are now the only sides left with dreams of capturing glory in Europe. The Nations League Finals tournament will be held from June 4-8 on German soil and consists of two semi-finals, a 3rd-place play-off and final.
If the 2023 UEFA Nations League consolation encounter is anything to go by, then those who manage to purchase tickets to this year’s 3rd Place Playoff are in for a real treat. Two years ago, Italy clinched third spot for the second successive UEFA Nations League campaign following an enthralling 3-2 clash with the Netherlands. The match in Enschede got off to a flyer with Federico Dimarco netting after just six minutes, but the Azzurri were left nervously holding on late on following a late Georginio Wijnaldum goal. It was a thriller for those watching in the stadium, and we could be set for another classic. Don’t miss out on your chance of bagging a ticket for the Stuttgart showdown.
Let GOAL bring you all the vital ticket information you need regards the UEFA Nations League 3rd Place Playoff match this June, including how much they cost and how you can guarantee yourself a seat.
