== Use of soccer vs football ==

Is there a policy or guideline on when to use soccer vs football? I'm specifically wondering whether [[:Category:Soccer podcasts]] should be renamed or not but I'm not seeing a policy or guideline about it.

:[[User:TipsyElephant|TipsyElephant]], I can't remember a general guideline but I would suggest [[:Category:Association football podcasts]], based on other members of [[:Category:Association football mass media]]. [[:Category:Football podcasts]] would be ambiguous with [[:Category:American football podcasts]]. [[User:TSventon|TSventon]] ([[User talk:TSventon|talk]]) 03:01, 19 March 2026 (UTC)
:I'm not aware of a project-wide discussion either, but the compromise hammered out for [[Association football]] is documented in the faq at the top of [[Talk:Association football]] and more granularly at [[Talk:Association football/Article name]].  I'd assume those to be controlling (or, at least, least controversial) for related pages in general.{{pb}}For people specifically, there ''is'' a project-wide guideline: [[Wikipedia:Naming conventions (sportspeople)#Association football (soccer)]].  There's nothing specific to this sport at [[Wikipedia:Naming conventions (sports teams)]], though. —[[User:Cryptic|Cryptic]] 03:29, 19 March 2026 (UTC)
