Football team

The benefit of club formation is that it gives teams access to additional volunteer or paid support staff, facilities and equipment.

The number of players selected for each team, within these varieties and their associated codes, can vary substantially.

Clubs may field multiple teams from their registered players (which may participate in several different divisions or leagues).

A club is responsible for ensuring the continued existence of its teams in their respective competitions.

Likewise, a football club may fold if it becomes insolvent or is incapable of fielding a team to play matches.
