  16. Anyone but Belgium for Wales?published at 17:15 GMT 12 February

    There’s a few League A potential opponents Wales fans will have their eyes on for various reasons.

    Maybe a chance of Euro 2016 revenge on Portugal, or a first competitive game against France.

    One team many a member of the Red Wall will be happy to avoid is Belgium having seen Wales paired with them in four of the last seven qualifying campaigns, plus a Nations League meeting in 2022 for good measure.

    No wonder Kevin de Bruyne once said he was bored of facing Wales.

    A reminder that the next edition of the Uefa Nations will be the first with the new four-game international window at the end of September.

    There used to be three windows for six games in September, October and November.

    Now there are two.

    The first window sees four games played across three weeks, with a regular two-game window in November.

    It means the domestic calendar gets a week back, and there is a more focused period of international football.

    Uefa's deputy secretary general Giorgio Marchetti is introduced onto the stage now. He will be conducting the draw.
