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.

FAQs

Why are gymnastics and weightlifting clubs grouped into one subcategory?

Both disciplines are judged on a single measured or scored performance rather than on defeating an opponent directly, the same basis as the parent sport category.

This subcategory groups clubs fielding gymnasts or weightlifters, on the same structural basis as the parent sport subcategory: both are individual disciplines judged on a single measured or scored performance rather than on defeating an opponent directly. Any club or training center organized around either discipline belongs here.
