away team

Guests on court

The away team is the team playing at their opponent's venue rather than their own home ground.

In sports scheduling, one team hosts while the other travels: The away team wore their alternate jerseys.

The term extends to any group operating on unfamiliar territory: We're the away team in this negotiation.
