Niemikoti Tournament Played in the September Heat

Eight teams from southern Finland—from Tampere to Raisio—gathered on 9 September for a football tournament for people in mental health recovery. The sunny, sweltering weather set the stage for fast-paced matches and a great atmosphere.

Tampereen Pallo-Karhut were crowned tournament champions, defeating Majakka by a clear 3–0 scoreline despite an evenly contested final. The bronze match was high-scoring, as Työkeskus Salpa beat FC Etappi 6–1 to secure third place.

Throughout the day there were tight contests, moments of success, and strong team spirit, making the event memorable for both participants and spectators. The tournament once again underscored the importance of exercise and togetherness for both mind and body.
