I have seen a great many football club articles list the location of the club's ground after the location for the stadium.
| ground =
Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium
Piraeus,
Greece
All MLS clubs have it. Very few English clubs have it. Should we state that it should not be present in the documentation or should was state it is optional and not proffered, or something else? Walter Görlitz ( talk) 21:27, 31 December 2015 (UTC)
|ground=stadium X, location X
while the other 50% have only |ground=stadium X
. I see the author of this section reverted my edits, because he thinks The documentation doesn't state it should not contain location. Then I may ask – what's the purpose of documentation? In my opinion, documentation is there to give a CLEAR idea of how something should look like and nothing should be invented without discussing first. –

|location=
parameter should be created to avoid unnecessary edit wars. It's not my problem that the creator of this documentation didn't state something clearly. I think that this needs to be taken to
Wikipedia:WikiProject Football if we want to reach a consensus faster. –

|venue=
parameter in mind. The description for this parameter is "Place where a live album was recorded." LIVE, LIVE, LIVE... Looks like someone misread and didn't see that this parameter is used only for LIVE albums. 3. As previously – failure in showing an example and your loss of arguments just begins to grow. A person is not a stadium – he/she migrates from one place to another. Country borders change all the time, city names change, etc. Furthermore, for example, when you have in mind
London, it can have different meanings as shown
here. 4. But documentation DOES SUPPORT my actions. I'm not accusing anyone of anything as I only stated facts by telling what is clear and what isn't. 5. You are starting to take all this very personally which is not good. I advise you to stop it. You're the only user on whole Wikipedia that made an issue of out of this small thing. 6. I was the first one to propose that |location=
should be created. Don't take all the credit for yourself. –

I suggest we change the example to be:
| ground = [[Example Stadium]]<br>[[Olonkinbyen]], [[Jan Mayen]], Norway | coordinates = {{coord|70|55|19|N|8|42|54|W|display=inline,title}} | capacity = 500
Alternately, we could use a real stadium that has multiple, shared tenants such as Wembley Stadium or similar. I chose Olonkinbyen because it's essentially uninhabited. Then in the TemplateData section, we update the documentation to read "The name of the club's home ground and location, separated by a break. Do not link nation per WP:OVERLINK." We then make similar changes to the Stadium parameter.
|ground=Ground, City
. Although, for US/Canadian teams we should list |stadium=Stadium, City, State
in order to keep consistency with the
biggest sports leagues. –

If I might suggest an alternative:
| ground = [[Example Stadium]] | location = [[Olonkinbyen]], [[Jan Mayen]], Norway | coordinates = {{coord|70|55|19|N|8|42|54|W|display=inline,title}} | capacity = 500
The template could use a line break for now to separate the ground
and location
parameters if that is the common formatting used now, but individual articles should be updated with separate parameters. Then the template can be revised from time to time if desired, for example, to separate ground
and location
with a comma or to place location
on a separate row (similar to the coordinates
)—or even hide/deprecate location
altogether. Clever wikipedians may even figure out how to tailor the display to suit their preferences. —

location
should be created. In my opinion, only City, Country
should be listed for European, Asian, Oceanian, African and Latin American clubs. Whereas, American and Canadian clubs should be consistent with clubs of
major professional sports leagues in the United States and Canada and list City, State (for US)/Province (for Canada)

I was think about that, but parameters can be anywhere and "location" could be the location of the club if misplaced. I was going to suggestion "ground_location and "stadium_location" but that requires a bit more work to the template, but makes sense. As for country, it doesn't have to be listed. There are three Canadian clubs in the US-based MLS and two in US-based NASL. Monaco in La Liga, etc. Walter Görlitz ( talk) 06:36, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
Stop being a jerk. The template guidelines do not support removing. Walter Görlitz ( talk) 05:20, 21 September 2016 (UTC)

08:50, 1 February 2018 (UTC)Why does setting "American=true" have to force the ground parameter to be labelled as "stadium" when it isn't appropriate for some cases especially for lower-tiered clubs or clubs playing in a country where football isn't a primary sport (in such cases the football clubs play in football pitches without fixed-seating). The problem is when such football clubs plays home games in football pitches and are based in countries which US spelling is the norm. (e.g. Philippines where "color" is the preferred spelling over "colour"). Hariboneagle927 ( talk) 03:23, 27 August 2018 (UTC)
There are several parameters have have no documentation regarding use.
I see short name
being used to contain initialism. For instance,
Real Madrid C.F. had (until I edited it) the short names of "Real, RM, RMA, RMD". It had no nickname
.
Manchester City F.C., whose nickname is "city" doesn't have that either as a short name or a nickname, but it has an initialism while
Manchester United F.C. has MUFC and neither "United" nor "Man U". Some clarification should be made.

|short name=
because it's already placed in |name=
(not to confuse the latter with |fullname=
).
SLBedit (
talk)
17:49, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
|short name=
should be used is when there is an officially used name that is different from the long name, aside from removing a word like "City" or "United". The only example I can think of where this is the case is
Milton Keynes Dons (short name: MK Dons), where official club sources almost never refer to the club by the long name except in an official context. Initialisation of a club name is not short name in my view, unless it's regularly used by the club, media and general public to refer to the team (such as
The New Saints (TNS),
Queens Park Rangers (QPR) or
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG)). I can't say I've ever heard Barcelona referred to as FCB on a TV broadcast or seen Manchester United referred to as MUFC in a major newspaper, whereas I have heard TNS and QPR noted as such. It's possible that these could be considered nicknames and be listed as such in the infobox of these clubs.

@ Walter Görlitz: @ GiantSnowman: I think that club colo(u)rs should also be included in this infobox. Why aren't they included anyway? Or is it that they were removed for some reason? Regards, Akocsg ( talk) 22:57, 18 October 2018 (UTC)
@ Walter Görlitz: Like in the Infobox sports team or the infobox basketball club. Your example with the infobox school athletics is also good, similar to the two mentioned by me. It works perfectly fine for those two infoboxes, so why not for football teams? The colors can be confirmed like any other info about the club, so I don't see why it should be any different compared to other parameters.
@ Number 57: @ GiantSnowman: No, exactly not. Some football clubs wear different colors than their club colors! So your argument underlines exactly the opposite. The same goes for GiantSnowman's point, pretty much the same logic there. It is possible that a club has different colors on their kit than their club colours. I'm sure that there are some examples. If needed, I could research and find some maybe. Regards, Akocsg ( talk) 18:54, 19 October 2018 (UTC)
I already found a well known example: Hannover 96. Their official club colors are black-white-green, although their kits are traditionally red, literally earning them their nickname "The Reds". This demonstrates the point very well. Regards, Akocsg ( talk) 19:09, 19 October 2018 (UTC)
The 'current=' field creates a link to whatever is entered in it. This is unnecessary if the entry is a number, and can create an error if something else is (e.g. 3rd in Shah Alam Antlers, a link to a DAB page which I've just spent 5 minutes fixing and reporting here). I think we all know what 3 is. Narky Blert ( talk) 10:16, 26 October 2018 (UTC)
european clubs often own a company running the first team football. the roles in a club are therefor the clubs roles, the companies roles. often the management and the coaching is split. how can this be best acommodated in this template? or it is better to split off another?

Hi all, Would it be possible to use Wikidata properties as a fallback for some of the fields? Like they do on Template:Infobox company.
For example, for the website:
| label15 = Website | data15 = {{URL|1={{{website|{{wikidata|property|P856}}}}}|2=Club website}}
And for the founded/dissolved dates:
| label4 = Founded | data4 = {{{founded|{{wikidata|property|edit|P571}}}}} | label5 = Dissolved | data5 = {{{dissolved|{{wikidata|property|edit|P576}}}}}
And probably others.
It would make it easier to keep infoboxes more complete, and would help other wikis.

Please add an optional matricule perimeter for Belgian clubs, it is really hard to find them and the first place I always look is the infobox. 76.103.46.252 ( talk) 16:34, 10 November 2020 (UTC)
The "pattern" fields displays really bad when using the
Timeless official layout. This is caused by the use of the class toccolours
. On Timeless design, this class is associated with several CSS rules other than just the colors of the ToC, including display:table
, which makes it look broken on that layout. As I believe changing the CSS of that layout is more complicated (as you'd have to check all the places where it's being applied), I suggest you to remove the class toccolours from this infobox. The only real benefit the template is receiving from that class is the border, so you could add that as an inline style with the following: border:1px solid #eaecf0;

I'm a little surprised there isn't a parameter for city. Unless there's some good reason not to include it, I request that a city (and perhaps country) parameter be added to the template. Following this, the auto short description should utilise the city where possible. Cheers! — HTGS ( talk) 04:53, 29 August 2021 (UTC)
Perhaps [the country] could be mentioned in the 0.01% of articles where clubs play outside their countries, but enforcing this on all articles is pointless). Editors of any given article can easily choose to omit a parameter if it doesn't make sense for the club.
Do you have examples of where the two are not the same?then F.C. Kafr Qasim is a team from Kafr Qasim which plays at Lod Municipal Stadium which is in Lod. I highly doubt anyone would think they are a team from Lod. Gonnym ( talk) 11:52, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
On the Italian version of Wikipedia ( it:Template:Squadra di calcio), they include images of a teams' major trophies on the infobox and what competitions they are the reigning winners of (see it:Chelsea Football Club for a good example).

On mobile web browsers, this infobox usually have a small problem that caused football kit icons shift to left, which looks different than desktop view. {{ Football kit home and away}} is already fine tuned for both desktop and mobile view to keep consistency between them, so it would be nice to integrate this template into infobox. -- Great Brightstar ( talk) 05:07, 6 April 2022 (UTC)

toccolours
class apparently causes the Timeless issue. Reduced test code which still has the issue:{{Infobox football club| fullname = Plymouth| body1 = 004000}}
class="toccolours"
, and the issue disappears for me.

The documentation needs to indicate that "season" should have a link to the season article with the year span displayed, but "current" you don't need to provide any link just the name of the linked article. For example, in FC Barcelona:
| season = [[2021–22 La Liga|2021–22]] | current = 2022–23 FC Barcelona season
AngusW🐶🐶F ( bark • sniff) 19:54, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
This seems to have been an issue since at least 2006, but the infobox documentation seems to be in conflict with the implementation.
The doc says
nickname — The club's most common nickname. Extensive lists of nicknames can be discussed in the article itself and the author should use their judgement to select the most appropriate entry for this parameter.
yet the infobox itself displays: Nickname(s)
, implying that more than one nickname can be added.
The infobox has been like this since
2005, and the documentation page created in 2007 (though I can't figure out if that was somewhere else first).
Given someone has gone through and removed lots of lists of nicknames, then which is correct?

Hi all, Would it be possible to use Wikidata properties as a fallback for some of the fields? Like they do on Template:Infobox company.
For example, for the website:
| label15 = Website | data15 = {{URL|1={{{website|{{wikidata|property|P856}}}}}|2=Club website}}
And for the founded/dissolved dates:
| label4 = Founded | data4 = {{{founded|{{wikidata|property|edit|P571}}}}} | label5 = Dissolved | data5 = {{{dissolved|{{wikidata|property|edit|P576}}}}}
And probably others.

Please add an optional matricule perimeter for Belgian clubs, it is really hard to find them and the first place I always look is the infobox. 76.103.46.252 ( talk) 16:34, 10 November 2020 (UTC)
The "pattern" fields displays really bad when using the
Timeless official layout. This is caused by the use of the class toccolours
. On Timeless design, this class is associated with several CSS rules other than just the colors of the ToC, including display:table
, which makes it look broken on that layout. As I believe changing the CSS of that layout is more complicated (as you'd have to check all the places where it's being applied), I suggest you to remove the class toccolours from this infobox. The only real benefit the template is receiving from that class is the border, so you could add that as an inline style with the following: border:1px solid #eaecf0;

I'm a little surprised there isn't a parameter for city. Unless there's some good reason not to include it, I request that a city (and perhaps country) parameter be added to the template. Following this, the auto short description should utilise the city where possible. Cheers! — HTGS ( talk) 04:53, 29 August 2021 (UTC)
Perhaps [the country] could be mentioned in the 0.01% of articles where clubs play outside their countries, but enforcing this on all articles is pointless). Editors of any given article can easily choose to omit a parameter if it doesn't make sense for the club.
Do you have examples of where the two are not the same?then F.C. Kafr Qasim is a team from Kafr Qasim which plays at Lod Municipal Stadium which is in Lod. I highly doubt anyone would think they are a team from Lod. Gonnym ( talk) 11:52, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
On the Italian version of Wikipedia ( it:Template:Squadra di calcio), they include images of a teams' major trophies on the infobox and what competitions they are the reigning winners of (see it:Chelsea Football Club for a good example). Is this something we could include on the English Wikipedia? Geolojoey ( talk) 18:12, 21 December 2021 (UTC)

On mobile web browsers, this infobox usually have a small problem that caused football kit icons shift to left, which looks different than desktop view. {{ Football kit home and away}} is already fine tuned for both desktop and mobile view to keep consistency between them, so it would be nice to integrate this template into infobox. -- Great Brightstar ( talk) 05:07, 6 April 2022 (UTC)
Is it just me or does this infobox render taking up much more space than it should – on the order of half the page width? Is it possible to correct this? ;; Maddy ♥︎(they/she)♥︎ :: talk 09:11, 29 May 2022 (UTC)
toccolours
class apparently causes the Timeless issue. Reduced test code which still has the issue:{{Infobox football club| fullname = Plymouth| body1 = 004000}}
class="toccolours"
, and the issue disappears for me.

The documentation needs to indicate that "season" should have a link to the season article with the year span displayed, but "current" you don't need to provide any link just the name of the linked article. For example, in FC Barcelona:
| season = [[2021–22 La Liga|2021–22]] | current = 2022–23 FC Barcelona season

This seems to have been an issue since at least 2006, but the infobox documentation seems to be in conflict with the implementation.
The doc says
nickname — The club's most common nickname. Extensive lists of nicknames can be discussed in the article itself and the author should use their judgement to select the most appropriate entry for this parameter.
yet the infobox itself displays: Nickname(s)
, implying that more than one nickname can be added.
The infobox has been like this since
2005, and the documentation page created in 2007 (though I can't figure out if that was somewhere else first).
Given someone has gone through and removed lots of lists of nicknames, then which is correct?

I made use of TemplateStyles to improve home colours, away colours and third colours area, so in this area the content alignment looks consistent between desktop and mobile view. -- Great Brightstar ( talk) 05:19, 22 April 2023 (UTC)

see the infobox here for example /info/en/?search=Salford_City_F.C.
the "coach" should be lowercase -- FMSky ( talk) 19:46, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
