The word consists of 'Finale' (final) and 'Einzug' (entry). 'Einzug' comes from the verb 'einziehen' (to move in, to enter). So 'Finaleinzug' (place in the final) is literally the 'Einzug ins Finale' (entry into the final).

This noun is almost always used with certain verbs. Typical phrases are 'den Finaleinzug schaffen' (to make it to the final), 'sich den Finaleinzug sichern' (to secure a place in the final), or 'um den Finaleinzug kämpfen' (to fight for a place in the final).

'das Finale' and 'der Finaleinzug' are closely connected, but they do not mean the same thing. 'das Finale' is the last, decisive competition itself. 'der Finaleinzug' is the moment or achievement of reaching that final. You can confuse the words because both are often mentioned together in sports or competitions. Remember: after the Finaleinzug, you are in the Finale; the Finale is then still to be played.
