try zone / end zone / scoring zone

Explanation:
It depends on the sport: try zone for rugby, end zone for American football. If you need something generic, I'd go for scoring zone, but it would seem preferable to use a sport-specific term.

Sorry the first link didnt get highlighted so I hope this works:
A try is scored when a player touches the ball down inside the opposition's in-goal area between the try line and dead ball line.
This area includes the goal-line itself (but not the side or backlines) and the posts (even if the part of the post touched is not over the goal-line).

but as everyone else has said an all embracing term might have to do '-scoring area' maybe?
