About FC Jazz

FC Jazz is a Finnish football club based in Pori. The club was originally founded in 1934 as Porin Pallo-Toverit (PPT) and later adopted the name FC Jazz in 1991. It has historically been one of the most notable clubs from the Satakunta region and plays its home matches at the Pori Stadium.

The club experienced its golden era in the 1990s, when it became a top team in Finnish football. FC Jazz won the Finnish league championship twice, in 1993 and 1996, and also regularly competed in domestic cup finals and European competitions. During this period, it represented Finland in UEFA tournaments such as the Champions League and UEFA Cup, facing stronger international opposition and gaining valuable experience on the European stage.

After financial difficulties and relegation in the mid-2000s, the club temporarily ceased its professional operations before being rebuilt and returning to the Finnish league system. FC Jazz restarted from lower divisions and gradually worked its way back into competitive football. Today, it continues to compete in the Finnish league structure, focusing on rebuilding its status and maintaining its football tradition in Pori.
