How to get POST var in ASP.NET when using ajax

Question

I send ajax request using this code:

$.ajax({
  url: "/Home/ShowStadium",
  contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
  dataType: "text",
  type: "POST",
  data: Club,
  success: function (data) {
        $(".right-content").html(data);
          },
  error: function (xhr, textStatus) {
         alert([xhr.status, textStatus]);
        }

  });

In HomeController i have this function:

[HttpPost]
        public ActionResult ShowStadium(){

            if (Request.Form["Club"] == "Some text to compare")
            {
                return Content("First variant");
            }
            else
            {
                return Content("Second variant");
            }

        }

But i can't get data sent by ajax to compare it. Request.Form["Club"] - not working!

What is Club in data: Club,? Your should add a parameter to you method public ActionResult ShowStadium(string Club) {... — user3559349

Use as

$.ajax({
  url: "/Home/ShowStadium",
  contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
  dataType: "text",
  type: "POST",
  data: {club:Club},
  success: function (data) {
        $(".right-content").html(data);
          },
  error: function (xhr, textStatus) {
         alert([xhr.status, textStatus]);
        }

  });

In HomeController i have this function:

[HttpPost]
        public ActionResult ShowStadium(string club){

            if (club == "Some text to compare")
            {
                return Content("First variant");
            }
            else
            {
                return Content("Second variant");
            }

        }
