feljutó

Feljutó is a Hungarian term that translates to "promoted" or "ascending" in English. It is commonly used in the context of sports, particularly in league systems, to describe teams or individuals who have achieved advancement to a higher level of competition. This typically occurs at the end of a season based on their performance, such as winning a league or securing a playoff spot.

The concept of feljutó is central to many sporting structures, offering a dynamic element of change and opportunity. It signifies success and the reward of moving up to face tougher opponents and greater challenges. Conversely, the opposite concept, often referred to as "kiesés" or "relegation," involves teams dropping to a lower division.

In football (soccer), for example, teams that finish at the top of a lower division are considered feljutó and will compete in the division above in the following season. This system ensures that competitive balance is maintained and provides a pathway for aspiring teams to reach the pinnacle of their sport. The prospect of becoming feljutó can be a major driving force for teams throughout a season.
