In sports and competition contexts, 'Finalrunde' (final round) is often used with these verbs: 'die Finalrunde erreichen' (to reach the final round), 'sich für die Finalrunde qualifizieren' (to qualify for the final round), or 'in der Finalrunde ausscheiden' (to be eliminated in the final round).
Die deutsche Mannschaft hat sich für die Finalrunde qualifiziert.
The German team qualified for the final round.
This word is used almost exclusively in connection with sports (e.g., the World Cup), games (e.g., a poker tournament), or other multi-stage competitions (e.g., a music competition).

Endrunde and Finalrunde can both refer to the last decisive stage of a competition. Endrunde presents it as a defined tournament phase following earlier rounds, while Finalrunde emphasizes more directly that it is the concluding stage. In many situations, either word is therefore possible.

In the concluding stage of the tournament, the eight best teams compete in the final round.
Nach der Vorrunde ziehen die acht besten Mannschaften in die Endrunde ein.
