List of feeder teams in football

The following is a list of association football clubs and their affiliates, past and present. Teams may have a feeder club for a number of reasons, including the ability to loan out inexperienced youngsters, to allow young, foreign players to gain a work permit, or for business purposes, such as merchandising. In English football the operation of an external feeder team is prohibited, and so the agreements are more informal, and usually between local teams.
