Formation of the name

Common components

A club's name is usually composed of two or more of the following elements, in most cases in the language of the club's home country:

  • a word describing the type of entity that runs the club (or ran it when it was founded), such as "Club", "Association", "Society", "Centre", "League", "Union", etc. More recently some clubs are regular commercial enterprises[citation needed] and may have this reflected in their names.
  • a word indicating that the club is associated with some sport(s), usually (but not always) including football. Examples are "football", "athletics", "exercises", "sports", etc.
  • a geographical name associating the club with some place (usually the town or region where it plays home matches). Examples: "Paris", "Milano", "Recife", "Croatia", "Goiás" or, alternatively, a word that associates the club with something else (a religious, cultural or political tradition). Sometimes the name of the town or the country may be written as in English (AC Milan).
  • a proper name, mascot or nickname, like "Cruzeiro" "Betis", or "Crusaders".
  • in Belgium, Spain and the Netherlands some clubs are associated with the monarchy like Real Madrid.
