soccer clubs

Professional pitch squads

Soccer clubs are organized teams that play association football, typically as part of a league or competition.

The term applies at every level—from neighborhood youth clubs to elite professional organizations like Manchester United or Barcelona.

In American usage, club distinguishes the organization from the team on the field: He plays for the club but wasn't selected for today's match.
