Statistics of the Swiss National League in the 1993–94 football season, both Nationalliga A and Nationalliga B.

Overview

[edit]

The 32 teams of the Swiss Football League (Nationalliga) were divided into two tiers. In the top-tier, there were 12 teams that played in the Nationalliga A (NLA). There were 20 teams in the Nationalliga B (NLB), the second tier, these were divided into two groups, a West and an East group. Each team in each group played a double round-robin in the qualification phase. Thereafter the divisions were divided into a Swiss championship group, a promotion/relegation group (NLA/NLB) and two relegation groups (NLB/1. Liga), each group with eight teams. Due to a system change, the format of the following NLB season was to reduce the number of teams to just 16. Therefore, there were to be seven relegations from the NLB to next season's 1. Liga (third tier), with only three promotions in the opposite direction.

Relegation groups NLB/1. Liga

[edit]

The last eight teams in each of the two qualification phase groups competed in two relegation groups against relegation to the 1. Liga 1994–95. The teams were drawn into these two groups and received ranking bonus points from their qualifying groups (3rd place 8 pts; 4th place 7 pts; 5th place 6 pts; etc). There were three direct relegations and a relegation play-out between the two fifth placed teams. This stage began on 5 March 1993 and was completed on 25 May.
