England beat Scotland 2-1 in Group A1 in SeptemberScotland v England: BBC One and BBC iPlayer, Tuesday 5 December, 19:30 GMT
England could still reach the Women’s Nations League finals and keep Team GB’s Olympic hopes alive as one round of group matches remain in the inaugural tournament.
The Lionesses kept their chances of winning Group A1 alive with an epic 3-2 victory over the Netherlands on Friday night.
But Wales and Scotland were both relegated to League B after failing to win on the same evening.
Meanwhile, Republic of Ireland have already secured promotion to League A, while Northern Ireland can still go up via a play-off.
BBC Sport gives you the lowdown on how promotion, relegation and qualification to the finals is shaping up across the tournament.
How does the Women’s Nations League work?
The 2023-24 competition consists of two leagues of 16 teams and a third of 19.
League A – the top division – and League B are split into four groups of four, while League C is made up of four groups of four and one of three.
The winners of each group in League A advance to next year’s finals tournament, where the two finalists will qualify for Paris 2024.
If France, who have already qualified as hosts, are in the final, the winner of the third-placed play-off will reach the Olympics.
The winners of each group in Leagues B and C will be automatically promoted into the division above, with the fourth-placed finishers in Leagues A and B – and the worst-ranked third-placed side in League B – going straight down.
The second-placed sides in League B will meet the third-placed sides in League A in a two-legged promotion and relegation play-off for a spot in the top tier.
The three best-ranked runners-up in League C will also face the remaining three third-placed sides from the second tier in a play-off for a spot in League B.
