Uefa Nations League draw fails to inspire fan interest

HOW do you solve a problem like international friendlies?

Uefa has attempted to arrest dwindling attendances and interest with the introduction of “a new competition that aims to ensure the continued success of national team football by replacing most friendlies with competitive matches and enabling all nations to play against evenly matched opponents”
