I know it'll be a lot like more than 8,000 clubs.

I am not sure anyone can give an accurate count.
To start with, there are over 200 "national" associations recognized by FIFA. In most, but not all of the nations, there are multiple "national" professional/semi-professional leagues.
For example, in England, you have five national levels (the Premier League, the Championship League, League One, League Two, and the Nationwide Conference) with approximately 110 teams. In the U.S., you have three national levels (MLS, U.S.L., and D-3) with around 40-50 teams.
Beyond the national level clubs, you have regional amateur leagues (which in many countries can earn promotion to the lower levels of the professional leagues).
My best estimate is that there are probably over 20,000 men's soccer teams around the world with a continuing status (i.e. the same team with roughly the same players playing in the same or similar league in a regularly scheduled season) playing organized soccer.

thousands.
clubs "pop up" and disband daily around the world. very few (compared to the total) play on a professional level.
