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 Tampellan Palloilijat, 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.
FC 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 both domestic and international competitions, and has a reputation for playing an exciting and attacking style of football.
The club has a strong youth development program and has produced many talented players who have gone on to play at the highest levels of the sport. FC Ilves is a respected and competitive team in the Finnish football league and continues to strive for success both on and off the pitch.
