HC Kehra Fännklubi

What HC Kehra Fännklubi does

HC Kehra Fännklubi is the organized fan association (MTÜ HC Kehra Fännklubi) affiliated with HC Kehra, a men's handball club based in Kehra, Harju county, Estonia. Its core function is community engagement: it coordinates supporter activities for the senior team HC Kehra/Horizon Pulp&Paper, organizes away trips, runs lottery and fundraising events at home games in Kehra Spordihoone, and mounts local community events such as annual bicycle tours and cross-country races. The fan club itself has approximately 30 members, a five-person board chaired by Sirle Sirel, and operates as a separate Estonian non-profit (mittetulundusühing) entity from the playing club MTÜ Kehra Käsipall.

The broader HC Kehra ecosystem, which the Fännklubi supports, runs on four revenue streams: title and supporting sponsorships (Horizon Pulp & Paper as main, plus COOP Harju, Primend, LAADUR, KC Energy, Sportland, Tele2, NOBE, SAKU AB, and Anija municipality), season cards at €50 granting entry to all home matches, monthly youth training fees of €30 (grades 3+) or €15 (kindergarten and grades 1-2) with a free first trial month, and merchandise sales through the 4teams.ee e-shop. The playing side offers a complete pyramid: kindergarten through 8th-grade youth groups, a junior/development team (HC Kehra/Primend), and a senior squad that competes in the Estonian Meistriliiga and the Baltic League under coach Mart Raudsepp, with talent reinforced through a cooperation agreement with the Tallinn Handball Academy.

Commercially this is a community-sports non-profit, not a technology product. The technology footprint is limited to a WordPress website (hckehra.ee), four social media channels (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok), the Sportlyzer training-registration SaaS, and the 4teams.ee merchandise storefront; no proprietary software, data product, app, or API exists. The club has accumulated 11 Estonian championships and 3 Baltic League titles since handball arrived in Kehra in 1961, with peak success in 2005/2006 and the most recent silverware being the 2020 Estonian Cup. The operation spans roughly 1-10 paid staff and depends structurally on a multi-sponsor base anchored by Horizon Pulp & Paper.
