About KPV Kokkola

Kokkolan Palloveikot (commonly known as KPV) is a Finnish football club based in Kokkola. It was founded in 1930 and has long been one of the key clubs in the region. The team plays its home matches at Kokkolan Keskuskenttä and has traditionally represented the Finnish-speaking community of the city.

The club experienced its greatest success in the late 1960s when it reached the top of Finnish football. KPV won the Finnish championship in 1969, which remains its most important achievement. It also had strong periods in the 1970s, finishing as runner-up and regularly competing near the top of the league, and it reached the Finnish Cup final twice in 1982 and 2006.

In European competitions, KPV has participated in tournaments such as the European Cup and UEFA Cup, facing strong international opponents but not advancing far. In modern times, the club has moved between divisions, spending periods in both higher and lower tiers of Finnish football. Today, KPV continues to compete in the Finnish league system and remains an important part of football culture in Kokkola.
