'profile' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'clubs playing a series of games abroad?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'clubs' could be 'c' (abbreviation used in card games such as bridge) and 'c' is found within the answer.
'playing' could be 'on' and 'on' is present in the answer.
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for contour that I've seen before include "Outline, shape" , "Silhouette" , "Outline, profile" , "Line on map indicating height" , "Map line of equal altitude" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
