About PK-35 Vantaa

PK-35 Vantaa is a Finnish football club based in Vantaa. The club’s roots trace back to PK-35, originally founded in 1935 in Viipuri (Vyborg) and later re-established in Helsinki after World War II. In 2008, its men’s first team moved to Vantaa and became PK-35 Vantaa, playing home matches at Myyrmäen jalkapallostadion.

The club rose through the Finnish league system during the 2010s and reached the Veikkausliiga, the top division. Its peak came in the mid-2010s when it achieved promotion to the top tier after strong performances in Ykkönen. However, the team struggled to maintain stability at the highest level and faced serious financial difficulties.

After the 2016 season, PK-35 Vantaa was relegated and did not receive a licence to continue in the second tier, leading to bankruptcy and the end of its men’s professional operations. The club ceased activity, although the broader PK-35 organisation continued in lower divisions under its Helsinki-based structure. Despite its short existence in top-flight football, PK-35 Vantaa is remembered for its rapid rise and sudden collapse.
