football club
a. An association formed to combine the operations of persons interested in the promotion or prosecution of some object; the purpose is often indicated in the title, as Alpine club, athletic club, chess club, football club, literary club, natural history field club, tennis club, yacht club, etc.; benefit club, clothing club, coal club, goose club, etc.Many of these are solely devoted to the object for which they are organized; others combine therewith some of the convivial features of sense 13, or even the permanent organization of sense 15. Here belong the publishing clubs, as the Abbotsford, Bannatyne, Roxburgh, Spalding, etc., which differ from societies with similar objects chiefly in their limitation of membership to a fixed number.
