UEFA Nations League 2024-25

That's old news!

So Scotland for example have to bid as they have 2 large enough even if they don't want to host?

Of course an association do not have to bid even if they satisfy the requirements. It is up to them whether they are interested to host.

From what I read, I think the UEFA process is:

- After the quarter-final draw, if there is at least one quarter-final tie where both teams are capable of hosting, UEFA will award the hosting rights to one of these pairs, so whoever wins the tie will host.

- If there is no quarter-final tie that satisfy the above requirements, then UEFA will designate an association to host, no matter whether they eventually qualify for the finals themselves; so if they do not qualify, they will act as neutral hosts.

Should be a neutral host IMO.

It says must in bold!

Oh really? I am not sure if it means all associations MUST submit, or all interested associations MUST submit.

Anyway, in some way I think any association that satisfy the requirements would be foolish not to try to host this finals. It is a good opportunity to win a tournament at your home country.

All national associations (NAs) participating in League A that can meet the stadium requirements must submit a proposal to host the Finals of the UEFA Nations League 2024/25.

So England for example could still bid to host!

I think it's just for League A teams. And even if it is not, why would England be interested to host a competition they have no chance of playing in?

That's so weird. I thought the whole reason we still hadn't done it yet is because we were waiting for the relegation playoffs. We could have done it so long ago!
