Definition: Assoc. football, in English-speaking countries, refers to a sport that consists of three teams consisting of five players each. The teams are separated by a rectangular ground called an "arena," where they compete against each other for a prize money.
The game is typically played on a flat surface and involves a variety of games such as soccer, handball or netball, in which the goalposts are placed at the sides of the arena to simulate a real football pitch. Each team has five players who play different positions, including goalkeeper (also known as "keeper"), midfielders, forwards and defenders. The game is played with a ball.
The word "Assoc." stands for association or union, and it means something in common, like a league or the same community that shares a similar interest. In football terminology, Assoc. football is a term used to identify teams that play under one manager (or coach).
The definition of the word 'Assoc.' can vary depending on cultural context and language usage. For example:
- In English-speaking countries, "assoc." means something in common or that involves people from the same place, like a community sports league.
- In Italian speaking countries, it means something similar to a club association.
Please note that definitions and terminology can change over time due to changes in language and culture.
