The final also determined which teams would join hosts France in the 2024 Summer Olympics. Normally, the two finalists qualify for the tournament, but because France reached the final, Spain took one qualification spot and the winner of the third place match between Netherlands and Germany determined the other qualification spot.[2][3][4][5]
Spain won the match 2–0 for their first UEFA Nations League title.[6][7]
