Four Atalanta players with their respective national teams have clinched a spot in the UEFA Nations League final four: we are talking about Rafael Toloi with Italy (pictured during Hungary-Italy), Mario Pašalić with Croatia and Teun Koopmeiners and Marten de Roon with the Netherlands. The fourth team to have booked a place in the finals is Spain.
The finals will be hosted by the Netherlands, the venues are still to be defined. The semi-finals are scheduled for 14 and 15 June 2023, with the final and third-place play-off to follow on 18 June 2023. A draw – the date has yet to be determined – will define the pairings.
