Team Type

Team type sorts clubs by how they are actually owned and run, such as member-owned, privately owned or company-owned. Wikipedia notes that "unlike most European sporting clubs, Real Madrid's members have owned and operated the club throughout its history," a structure shared by only a handful of major clubs. This dimension groups clubs that share the same ownership structure.
