hearts

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'football club' is the definition.
'hearts' can be an answer for 'club' (I've seen this before). I am not certain of the 'football' bit.

'tries to limit heading for teenagers' is the wordplay.
'tries' becomes 'hears' (as in trying or hearing in a trial).
'to limit' indicates putting letters inside (inserted letters are restrained or limited).
'heading for' says to take the initial letters.
The first letter of 'teenagers' is 't'.
'hears' placed around 't' is 'HEARTS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hearts that I've seen before include "See 23" , "Red suit" , "Suit for vital organs" , "Scots club nickname; suit" , "Edinburgh football team - suit" .)
