About KePS Kemi

Kemin Palloseura (commonly known as KePS) is a Finnish football club based in Kemi, in northern Finland. The club was founded in 1956 and has traditionally represented the local football culture in the Lapland region. It plays its home matches at Sauvosaaren urheilupuisto and has been one of the most important sports organizations in the area.

KePS experienced its strongest period in the 1980s, when it competed in the top tiers of Finnish football. The club played in the Finnish top division during that era and achieved its best league result in 1985, finishing among the top teams in the country. It also produced several notable players who went on to play at higher levels in Finland and abroad.

In later decades, the club gradually moved between divisions due to sporting and financial challenges. KePS eventually lost its place in the top level and has since competed mainly in the lower tiers of the Finnish football system. Today, it remains active as a community-based club focused on local football development and youth participation.
