The FIFA World Cup has paved the way for the resumption of club football across the globe.
Although some football leagues still continued their football seasons, most major football leagues took a 6-week break to accommodate the tournament. All of that is long gone now.
As we look ahead to another weekend, there’ll be more than enough club football action across board. To help know where to look this weekend, here are some of the football leagues that will feature football action this weekend:
-
Major League Soccer
It’s one of the many football leagues that didn’t go on a break during the World Cup tourney. Divided into two conferences (typical of sports being played in the USA), as much as 16 games have been played so far this season.
Team to look out for: Of the 23 teams involved, Atlanta United has scored the most goals – 46 goals in 22 games, an average of two goals scored per game.

Bundesliga
There are a number of countries that call their top-flight football league by the name “Bundesliga.” The one that’s about to kick off this weekend is the Austrian Bundesliga.
What to look out for: The Austrian Bundesliga is a league in which a lot of teams score a lot of goals. With this being the season opener, there could as well be a festival of goals.
