In the first UEFA Nations League semifinal, Germany is set to face Portugal. The match was scheduled to kick off at 21:00 Central European Time, but the start has been postponed.

Details: It has been officially announced that the match will begin ten minutes later than planned. The reason is severe weather—hail began to fall just before kickoff, prompting officials to slightly delay the start of the game.
