Wikipedia - Ilves (football)
Tampereen Ilves (pronounced [ˈilʋes]; Finnish for "Lynx"; Swedish: Ilves Tammerfors), commonly referred to as Ilves, is a Finnish professional football club based in Tampere. They currently play in the Veikkausliiga, the highest level of professional football in Finland.
History
They were formed in 1975 as a merger between Ilves-Kissat Tampere and TaPa Tampere, and joined the Premier Division in 1979.
Ilves won the Finnish League championship in 1983 and the Finnish Cup on four occasions in 1979, 1990, and 2019 and 2023.
In the late 1990s, Ilves suffered financial trouble and its professional team was reformed into Tampere United before the 1999 season. The initial plan was to join Ilves with TPV, but TPV decided to continue as its own team. As a result, Tampere United inherited Ilves' place in the second highest division, and Ilves dissolved their men's team. Thus the club did not have a men's team from 1999 to 2007.
Their home ground is Tammelan Stadion. Between 2020 and 2023, they played at Tampere Stadium, while waiting for the new Tammelan stadion to be built.
Ilves has a strong fan base and is known for their passionate supporters who create an electric atmosphere at their matches. The team has had success in Finnish football, winning the Finnish Cup in 1990 and finishing as runners-up in the Finnish League in 2019.
Ilves is known for their attacking style of play and their ability to score goals. They have a talented squad of players who are dedicated to achieving success on the pitch. The team is coached by Jarkko Wiss, a former Finnish international player who brings a wealth of experience to the team.
Overall, Ilves is a respected and competitive team in Finnish football, and they continue to strive for success both domestically and in European competitions.
