Suggestion: Add Private/Friendly Matchmaking to Rush Clubs like the league

Hi everyone, ​I’ve been playing the Clubs Rush mode for years now and it’s arguably one of the most fun additions to the franchise recently. 
However, there is a significant feature missing that would greatly improve the community experience: Private Friendly Matches.
​Currently, if we want to play against our own club members or a specific group of friends in a 5v5 (4v4 + GK) format, we have to rely on "perfect matchmaking" (trying to search at the same exact time), which rarely works and is very frustrating.

​Why this is needed:
​In-Club Tournaments: Many clubs have more than 4-5 members active at once. We want to be able to play against each other to practice or run internal competitions.
​Competitive Scene: For the Pro Clubs competitive community, being able to set up specific matches against rival teams in Rush would open doors for organized leagues and tournaments.
​Casual Fun: Sometimes we just want to play with other friends in a controlled environment without the pressure of public rank or random matchmaking.

​Proposed Solution: ​Add a "Friendly Match" or "Invite Club" option within the Rush menu, similar to how Friendly Matches work in traditional 11v11 Pro Clubs. 

A simple "Matchroom Code" system would also work perfectly.

​This feature would significantly increase the longevity of the mode and keep the community engaged for much longer.
