FC Kasiysi

What FC Kasiysi does

FC Kasiysi Espoo ry is a registered amateur football (soccer) association founded in 1989 in Espoo, Finland, through the merger of Karakallion Pallo and Jupperin Urheilijat-58. The club name derives from its founding year (FC 89) and operates as one of Finland's largest junior football clubs by membership, serving over 1,000 members across approximately 40 teams spanning youth boys and girls (ages 6–18), women's teams, men's teams, veterans (M40), and adaptive football (Red Stars). Its core offering is a full age-based football pathway that begins with Family Football (Perhefutis) for children aged 2–5 alongside a parent, progresses through Football Schools, weekly Football Clubs, junior competitive and challenge teams, and extends to adult fitness football, casual football (höntsä), and seasonal camps (summer, winter, autumn break, back-to-school). All membership, registration, invoicing, and communications run through the third-party MyClub platform, and the club accepts Epassi and Edenred sports vouchers as payment.

The association operates as a nonprofit under Finnish registered association (ry) law, with revenue derived from annual membership fees (EUR 50 regular / EUR 30 supporter), monthly team and activity fees (EUR 60–70/month for youth team fees; EUR 7/month activity fee for adults; EUR 25–35/month for adult hobby groups), one-time camp fees (EUR 69–139), and merchandise sales through Adidas/XXL Team Sales and CarecaSports distribution partnerships. It wholly owns Hornankattila Oy, a subsidiary that manages the heated artificial turf field in Karakallio used for year-round training. The club is governed by a board led by Chairman Tuukka Laakso, with day-to-day operations run by Executive Director Juha Remes and a Coaching Manager, Junior Manager, Girls Age Groups Coordinator, Club Coordinator, and club coaches (5–6 full-time-equivalent staff). It maintains active joint-team (YJ) cooperation with Pohjois-Espoon Ponsi (PEP), Leppävaaran Pallo (LePa), and FC Honka, and a "friendship club" relationship with SexyPöxyt (Pöxyt) enabling junior ball-collector participation and free match admission. Geographic operations are concentrated in Espoo between Turunväylä, Kehä III, and Vihdintie.
