Encyclopedia > Football club

A football team is the collective name given to a number of players who play together in a football game, be it association football (soccer), rugby, Australian football, American football, Gaelic football, or other version of football.


Often used as an alternative to the phrase "football club", the team can refer to an incorporated club that might have several individual teams in different divisions.


An association football (soccer) team consists of ten out-field players and a goalkeeper.

Melbourne Football Club - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1486 words)
Founded in 1858, it is the oldest football club in Australia and is one of the oldest in the world.
However, the claim of "professionalism" is contentious, as the Victorian Football League did not officially allow professional players until Rule 29 was passed in 1911 and for many years Melbourne was a proudly amateur club.
The underlying problem for Melbourne and the other older clubs is that the new Australian Football League, a 16-team national competition, has left too many clubs in Melbourne, a city which despite its great tradition of passionate support for Australian Rules Football, cannot financially support ten clubs competing against wealthy and successful interstate newcomers.
