About Suomen Cup

Finnish Cup (Suomen Cup) is the main national football cup competition in Finland. It was established in 1955 and is open to all football clubs affiliated with the Football Association of Finland, ranging from amateur sides to top professional teams. The tournament is played annually and follows a knockout format, making it one of the most inclusive competitions in Finnish football.

The competition has a long tradition of producing surprising results, as lower-division teams often face top-tier Veikkausliiga clubs in single-elimination matches. Over time, it has become an important part of the Finnish football calendar, giving smaller clubs a chance to compete against the country’s strongest teams. The winner of the Finnish Cup also earns qualification for European competitions, currently the UEFA Europa Conference League, which increases its significance.

The most successful club in the history of the Finnish Cup is HJK Helsinki, which has won the tournament more than any other team. Other historically strong clubs such as FC Haka, TPS, and KuPS have also achieved multiple titles. Today, the Finnish Cup continues to feature hundreds of teams each season and remains one of the most important and widely participated football tournaments in Finland.
