When it comes to professional football, there aren't many games less appealing to fans than an international friendly.

The sad truth is that it's really difficult to get excited about those encounters, even if there are superstar names like Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe taking part.

That's why the UEFA Nations League has proven to be a bit of a revelation. Yes, it's not quite the same as a World Cup or a European Championship, but it's still a competitive and entertaining tournament in which countries try their very hardest to achieve victory.

The third edition of the UEFA Nations League kicks off on June 2nd and will run until June 18th, 2023.

So, with 2022/23 fixtures about to take over television screens around the world, we've decided to create a quiz to test put your knowledge of the competition to the test.

There are 15 questions in total and we've also provided a scoring system below.
