FC KooTeePee
FC KooTeePee was a Finnish football club.
FC KooTeePee was founded in 2000 as a reserve team for Kotkan Työväen Palloilijat. In December 2013, a merger took place where FC KooTeePee adopted the name FC Kotkan Työväen Palloilijat. The newly merged club was able to retain FC KooTeePee's place in the Ykkönen. This event essentially saw the legacy of the older KTP club passed on to the new, merged entity.
The current club, now officially known as Kotkan Työväen Palloilijat, often referred to simply as KTP, plays in the Finnish top-tier, the Veikkausliiga.
