All of them. The AFC you're thinking about is a prefix some clubs have taken up to show they are a different entity to the name of the professional club who play in the town / city that they also play in. |

ecochris is asking about a suffix(Leeds United A.F.C) NOT a prefix |

But all clubs are an Associated Football Club, surely? |

Association Football is a rarely used term these days but membership of the Football Association irrespective of level means clubs are bound bu the rules of the Football Assocoation and therefore 'associated'.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Association_football_clubs
Likewise the FA Cup (Football Association) Cup is open to all members of the Football Association and starrts every season at the lowest level culminating in the Final at Wembley.

I think the A is for Association rather than Associated - to distiguish it from RFC as in rugby. |

Up until 1986 Crystal Palace were 'Crystal Palace Football and Athletic Club Ltd.
Maybe A is for Athletic rather than Association |
