Hello, I'd like to know if it is correct to say:

I play for Juventus football club or I play for the Juventus football club or
I play for the football club Juventus

Thanks Ripley

Not the Juventus FC ?
There's only one JFC, right?

Football clubs tend not to use 'the', unless using their nicknames.

Liverpool Football Club (not The Liverpool Football Club)
Leicester City Football Club (not The Leicester City Football Club)

The Gunners (Arsenal Football Club's nickname)
The Hornets (Watford Football Club's nickname)

Hope that helps.
