About FC Haka

FC Haka is a Finnish professional football club based in the industrial town of Valkeakoski. Founded in 1934 as Valkeakosken Haka, the team has long competed in the top tiers of Finnish football and plays its home matches at Tehtaan kenttä. It is considered one of the historically successful clubs in Finland, having spent many seasons in the top division, the Veikkausliiga.

Haka achieved its greatest success during the mid-20th century, particularly in the 1960s, when it dominated domestic football and became the first Finnish club to win both the league title and the national cup in the same season. Over its history, the club has won nine Finnish championships and twelve Finnish Cups, making it one of the most decorated teams in the country. Later success came in the late 1990s and early 2000s, including a run of three consecutive league titles.

The club has also participated regularly in European competitions, with its best performance coming in the 1983–84 Cup Winners’ Cup, where it reached the quarter-finals. Despite periods of financial difficulty and relegation, FC Haka has remained an important part of Finnish football, rebuilding itself and continuing to compete at a national level while maintaining strong local ties to the Valkeakoski community.
