Pallo-Pojat Juniorit

Pallo-Pojat Juniorit is the 3rd biggest football club in Finland, with 3000 licensed football players, most of whom are under 14 years of age. Pallo-Pojat Juniorit operates locally in southern Helsinki. In locations like Lauttasaari, Jätkäsaari, Eira, Kamppi, Ruoholahti, PPJ is the most dominant club. The club mainly focuses on youth football but also has adults teams for men and women. Girls team T15 won the Finnish Futsal championship in 2025.
PPJ operates at two indoor facilities, Intersport Arena in Jätkäsaari and Lauttasaaren kuplahalli, as well as at several outdoor football pitches.
Before Pallo-Pojat Juniorit was founded in 1995, its predecessor Pallo-Pojat won the Finnish cup in 1956. They played in Mestaruussarja in 1960 and 1961 seasons but weren't able to compete with bigger traditional Helsinki based clubs HIFK, HJK, HPS and KIF and were relegated to lower levels. In 1995, the club's youth department was separated from rest of the club and named Pallo-Pojat Juniorit, and this club continues the tradition of the original Pallo-Pojat.
