About TPS Turku

Turun Palloseura (TPS) is a Finnish professional football club based in the city of Turku. Founded in 1922, it is one of the oldest and most traditional sports clubs in Finland, with activities in multiple sports, although its football section is particularly notable. The team is commonly known by the nickname “Tepsi” and has spent many seasons competing in the top levels of Finnish football.

TPS enjoyed its greatest success during the mid-20th century, establishing itself as one of Finland’s leading clubs. It has won eight Finnish league titles, with its golden era spanning from the 1920s to the 1970s, and has also claimed several Finnish Cup victories. Despite these achievements, the club has experienced fluctuating fortunes in later decades, moving between the top division and lower tiers.

In European competitions, TPS is remembered for notable performances, including a famous victory over Inter Milan in the late 1980s. Although the club has faced financial challenges and relegations in recent years, it remains an important part of Finnish football history, with a strong identity and a continued role in developing players and maintaining football culture in Turku.
