sekcijama

Sekcijama is a term used in the context of the Croatian football league system, particularly in the Croatian Football Federation (HNS). It refers to the division of teams into sections or groups within a league or tournament. This practice is common in football competitions where a large number of teams are involved, and it helps in managing the schedule and reducing the number of matches each team has to play.

In the Croatian First Football League (1. HNL), for example, teams are often divided into two sections, A and B, for the regular season. Each team plays against the other teams in their section, and the top teams from each section advance to the championship group, while the bottom teams are relegated to the second division. This system helps in creating a more balanced and competitive league structure.

Sekcijama can also be used in cup competitions, where teams are divided into groups based on their geographical location or performance in previous rounds. This helps in creating more evenly matched groups and reducing the number of matches that need to be played.

Overall, sekcijama is an important aspect of the Croatian football league system, helping to create a more organized and competitive environment for teams to compete in.
