About Sepsi-78

Sepsi-78 is a Finnish football club based in Seinäjoki. It was founded in 1978 after the bankruptcy of its predecessor, Seinäjoen Palloseura (SePS). The new club was created to continue local football traditions and became one of the main teams in the city’s football structure. It plays its home matches in Seinäjoki and has mainly competed in the lower divisions of Finnish football.

The club experienced its most notable sporting period in the late 1970s and early 1980s, when it reached higher tiers of Finnish football. Sepsi-78 played in the top division for a short time after achieving promotion through strong performances in the second tier. However, it struggled to maintain its position at the highest level and was soon relegated back to lower divisions. Over the following decades, it remained mostly in the third and fourth tiers, with fluctuating results.

In 2007, Sepsi-78’s senior team merged with TP-Seinäjoki to form Seinäjoen Jalkapallokerho (SJK), which became the city’s main professional club. After the merger, Sepsi-78 continued to exist mainly as a youth and lower-level football organization. Today, it focuses on grassroots development and amateur football, maintaining its role in Seinäjoki’s sporting community.
