The term "end zone" is commonly used in American football to refer to the area beyond the goal line at each end of the field. However, there are several other synonyms that are used to describe this area. In Canadian football, the end zone is known as the "dead ball line", while in rugby the area is referred to as the "try zone". In Australian rules football, it is called the "goals" or "behind line". In Gaelic football, the end zone is known as the "goal area". Despite the different names, the purpose of the end zone remains the same - to score points by crossing the opposing team's goal line.
