En américain «conference» peut désigner une association d'équipes sportives. La traduction littérale de ces expressions est pour le moins cocasse. Si on tient à traduire ces expressions, c'est le mot «association» qu'il conviendrait d'employer. 4, record 1, French, - Association%20de%20football%20de%20l%27Ouest
