Can we use British English terminology when describing British football

Just read the entry about Arsenal FC. and want to ask if we could use British English sports terminology when referring to British football teams instead of U.S. sports terminology? E.g. "Arsenal have won..." (UK), and not "Arsenal has won ..." (USA). I'm not sure why but I think it's because in common parlance, its the team of players (ie players being plural) that's being referred to, and not the club or team (both singular).

Title

Can we change the title page to Arsenal Men’s F.C? Apeden56182 (talk) 19:22, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Apeden56182 Men's club is the primary topic, so no need to disambiguate (at this time). —C.Fred (talk) 19:28, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
