Schonmal jemand bei der UEFA angerufen, was denn nun bei dem "Friendly Match Consolidation Day" rausgekommen ist?
Friendly match consolidation procedure
For the friendly matches to be scheduled during the EQ group stage period, the procedure is organised
according to the following steps:
1. Before the draw of 9 October 2022 and before the fixture list is confirmed, UEFA and the national
associations gather information on preferences and wishes and establish an overall inventory.
2. As soon as the draw has been made and the fixture list is published, the national associations start
negotiating the bilateral agreements.
3. Within three months after the draw, by 17 January 2023, the associations have time to finalise their
friendly match arrangements, while keeping the UEFA administration duly informed.
4. Associations that by 17 January 2023 still need to finalise their arrangements must attend the
“Friendly Match Consolidation Day” at UEFA headquarters in Nyon on 1 February 2023. The list of
available teams and solutions will be shared with all associations concerned.
5. On the “Friendly Match Consolidation Day”, the associations will be asked to confirm if solutions
have been found. If necessary, the UEFA administration will apply the “first pick”-procedure*
according to the UEFA Nations League 2022/23 overall ranking published at the conclusion of the
group stage. If required and as the conclusive step of the procedure, the UEFA administration holds
a draw for the last teams with no friendly match.
Following the “Friendly Match Consolidation Day”, UEFA will publish the complete list of friendly fixtures
to be played during the European Qualifiers period from March to November 2023.
Aber es ist ja bekannt, wann in Frankfurt gespielt wird. Noch ist es nicht buchbar
