The Relegation Battle

The relegation battle is a competitive fight among the lower-ranked teams in a sports league, typically football, where the teams at the bottom aim to avoid being moved to a less prestigious division at the season’s end. It adds pressure as these teams strive for points to climb the standings, with the risk of dropping down if they perform poorly. The outcome depends on their remaining matches, and the battle often intensifies as the season nears its conclusion, making it a critical part of the league’s excitement and unpredictability.
