Wales will face Bulgaria, Finland and the Republic of Ireland in the 2020/2021 UEFA Nations League. 

Ryan Giggs’ side defeated Ireland twice in the 2018/2019 Nations League. 

The campaign will begin in Finland and end against them, with their opening and final games set to be against Markku Kanerva’s side.

Wales will have a home double-header in November to finish off the Nations League, as they host Ireland on November 13, before taking on Finland three days later.  

The last meeting between Wales and Bulgaria was a 1-0 victory for Wales in their Euro 2012 qualifying campaign, with Gareth Bale scoring the winner.

Wales last played Finland in friendly in 2013, drawing 1-1 in Cardiff.
