Portugal are set to be announced as the hosts of the Nations League semi-finals and final in June after securing their place in the mini tournament.

Portugal held Italy to a 0-0 draw on Saturday to become the first team to qualify for the semi-finals.

Italy, Poland and Portugal had put themselves forward to host the semi-finals and the final and, as all three sides are in group A3, UEFA agreed in principle that whoever won the group would become hosts.

The semi-finals will be held on June 5 and 6 and the final will take place on June 9.
