clubspeler

A clubspeler, also known as a club player, is a term used in the context of sports, particularly football (soccer), to describe a player who is a member of a club's first team. These players are typically under contract with the club and are eligible to play in official matches. Clubspelers are often distinguished from amateur players, who may play for the club's reserve team or in local leagues, and from professional players, who are typically part of a club's first team and may also play for their national team.

The status of a clubspeler can vary depending on the club and the league. In some leagues, such as the English Premier League, players are considered professionals if they are part of the first team squad. In other leagues, such as the Dutch Eredivisie, players are considered professionals if they are part of the first team squad and earn a salary above a certain threshold.

Clubspelers are often expected to perform at a high level and contribute to the success of their club. They may be involved in training sessions, matches, and other club activities. Clubspelers may also be required to participate in team-building exercises and other off-field activities.

The term "clubspeler" is not universally used, and the status of a player may vary depending on the club and the league. However, it is a useful term for describing players who are part of a club's first team and are eligible to play in official matches.
