Statistics of Swiss National League in the 1992–93 football season, both Nationalliga A and Nationalliga B.

Overview

[edit]

The 36 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 24 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 with the top eight teams from the qualification and two promotion/relegation groups (NLA/NLB), both with eight teams. These were the bottom four teams from the NLA qualification and the top six teams from both of the NLB qualification groups. Further, there were two relegation groups (NLB/1. Liga), each group with six teams.

Due to a system change in the Nationalliga, the format of the following NLB season was to reduce the number of teams from 24 to 20. This change would continue over the next few seasons. One season later the teams were to be reduced from 20 to 16. The final aim was to have 12 teams in the top tier and also 12 in the second tier. Therefore, this season 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 six teams in each of the two qualification phase groups competed in two relegation groups against relegation to the 1. Liga 1993–94. The teams were drawn into these two groups and received ranking bonus points from their qualifying groups (7th place 6 pts; 8th place 5 pts; 9th place 4 pts; etc). There were three direct relegations and a relegation play-out between the two fifth placed teams. This stage began on 28 February 1993 and was completed on 25 May.
