finnish football championship

Post by Simone » Wed Jan 14, 2004 7:55 pm

Hi everibody
is there someone who can give me some information (or useful address) about the finnish championship (matches, day of the match, place where the bigger team play or they make training especially about team of Helsinky /Tampere zone), and naturally in which period of the year it's played...i suppose that those information coul be easy for a finnish, but from italy it's difficult to have access.
Thank you
Ciao Ciao

Tampereen Ilves.... didn't they merge with somebody else to become Tampere United? (err.. yes.. I'm pretty sure they did, but am using question marks because I don't remember who the other lot were...)

Jazz are from Pori. Not sure if they are still going, either. Had some problems with funny money a year or two back.

AH.. found it. Tampere United were formed out of the ruins of Ilves and TPV (Tampereen Pallo-Veikot, I guess) back in 1998. Won the title in the 2001 season, only their second year in the top echelon.
