final round
The last, decisive phase of a tournament or competition, in which the remaining best participants or teams compete for victory.
Die deutsche Nationalmannschaft hat die Endrunde der Europameisterschaft erreicht.
The German national team has reached the final round of the European Championship.
The word is made up of 'Ende' (end) and 'Runde' (round). So it literally refers to the last or decisive round of a competition.
Nur die besten vier Teams kommen in die Endrunde.
Only the best four teams make it into the final round.
Pay attention to the case after the preposition 'in'. Movement into the last phase is expressed with the accusative ('in die Endrunde' — into the final round), while participation within it is described with the dative ('in der Endrunde' — in the final round).

The team is fighting to advance to the final round.
Common verbs in connection with 'Endrunde' (final round) are 'die Endrunde erreichen' (to reach the final round), 'sich für die Endrunde qualifizieren' (to qualify for the final round), or 'in die Endrunde einziehen' (to advance to the final round).
Leider ist unser Team schon vor der Endrunde ausgeschieden.
