play down teams and newcomer

  • can someone sum it up for me in leagues like Italy, France and poland, which teams ended up going down to the second division (or which are now fighting to stay in A1 if still not over) and which teams from A2 moved up to A1? also, and what's this situation in italy i hear about more teams in A1?


    thanks

  • Narbonne and Rennes relegated in France, Canteleu Maromme promoted as they finished 1st in Ligue B while Nice, Tourcoing, Harnes and Orange are fighting for 2nd promotion place. Atm semifinals are in progress, Nice - Orange, Tourcoing - Harnes


    As I know Plus liga is "closed" one like NBA, NHL or MLS so no relegation

  • Italian Serie A1 is closed too, but 2 new teams will come from Serie A2. Padova took the first spot. After the play-offs we'll know who is following them.

    A league can't be named as close if there is some teams are relegating :rolleyes:

    No no, Serie A1 has 12 teams, but usually there are 14. So the 2 best teams from Serie A2 will take the missing spots to reach 14 teams again, while no one will be relegated.
