The "Relegation Zone" refers to the bottom three positions in a league table, particularly in sports like football (soccer). Teams that finish in these positions at the end of the season face the risk of being demoted to a lower division for the next season. This system is designed to maintain competitive balance within the league. Being in the relegation zone can significantly impact a team's finances, fan support, and player morale. Teams often fight hard to avoid this zone, as relegation can lead to reduced revenue from broadcasting rights and sponsorships, making it crucial for clubs to perform well throughout the season.
