UEFA is looking to expand the Nations League top tier to 16 teams – saving Germany from relegation, Sky Sports News understands.
In the interest of member nations expressing a desire to play more competitive games and less friendlies, plans for four groups of four teams are set to be discussed at Tuesday's UEFA executive committee.
This would mean nations would play six competitive fixtures instead of four and avoid playing friendlies when they are not competing in the current 12-nation format of three teams across four groups.
The proposal would likely see the four relegated League A teams - Germany, Croatia, Poland and Iceland - retain their top-flight status.
They would be joined by the four promoted League B sides Ukraine, Sweden, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Denmark.
