All teams finishing third or higher in League A will be named as top seeds for Euro 2028 qualifying.
By missing out, Wales could now be drawn alongside one of Europe’s heavyweights in their group.
Spain, France, Italy, Netherlands and Portugal are among the sides already guaranteed pot one seeding for the draw on 6 December in Belfast.
England will also be a top seed, although Thomas Tuchel’s men will be kept apart from Wales and the other Euro 2028 co-hosts in qualifying regardless.
When it comes to reaching the Euros, the 12 group winners and eight best-ranked runners-up qualify directly.
For any of the co-hosts who don’t make it via that route, there are two automatic spots available. Those will be awarded to the best-ranked between the four nations who haven’t qualified directly.
If Wales still haven’t made it, there is still the back-up option of the play-offs.
And given play-off places are based on Nations League rankings, Wales are highly likely to already have that safety net.
