Nations League: San Marino and Moldova promoted from League D

Moldova and San Marino secured promotion to League C after topping their League D groups in the 2024/25 UEFA Nations League.

Group D1

League D kicked off with a bang on 5 September as San Marino beat Liechtenstein to record their first win in 20 years. Gibraltar went through the group unbeaten, but Nicolo Nanni's added-time penalty for San Marino denied Gibraltar promotion and gave San Marino the chance to move up if they won their last game. They duly did, coming from behind to triumph 3-1 in Liechtenstein.

How League D of the 2024/25 Nations League worked

League D contained six teams, drawn into two groups of three. Teams played all their group opponents home and away in September, October and November 2024. Where they finished determined what happened next:

1st Promoted to League C for the 2026/27 edition.

2nd Face the two best-ranked fourth-placed teams from League C in home-and-away promotion/relegation play-offs. The aggregate winners will be in League C for 2026/27, with the losers in League D.

3rd Remain in League D for 2026/27.
