About

Egan Richardson is a football journalist living in Tampere. He writes for Helsinki Times, ESPNSoccernet and When Saturday Comes, among others. Currently doing an MA in International Relations with Russian Studies at Tampere University, he watches far too much Finnish football and this blog is one way of coping with it.

Juha Salminen is currently working part time for Turun Sanomat and completing his International Baccalaureate. He has lived in Turku all his life, so it is quite natural that he is an enthusiastic supporter of TPS Turku.

He’ll be writing about what’s happening in Turku and whatever football related he feels like writing about – Football in Finland, that is.

If you would like to contribute to the blog, please send an email to footballinfinland [at] gmail [dot] com detailing what you’d like to write about, and whether you’d like to make a one off contribution or become a regular writer.

Comments that try to advertise anything (including the services of a footballer) will be deleted. If you want to contact me, you can do so via email. I am not an agent and will not assist any player trying to move, but if there is an angle to your story I might decide to write about it.

    Hi guys this is a great site! I currently live in England with my Finnish girlfriend but we are moving to Tampere next July. Are there many clubs in this area as I really want to keep playing football when I come there then progress into coaching, I currently play & hold a FA level 2 coaching badge.
    Looking forward to your reply

    I have been involved in a small local scheme football business in my country and I’m actually interested in a full scale genuine football business on the international scene, owing to the fact that abundant talent can be found in my country Nigeria.
    My best regards,

    Thanks

    Hi, my name is Jim Räisänen and I’ve have just recently stumbled across your web site. Juha Salminen, your profile on the web site states that you are an enthusiastic supporter of TPS Turku. I hope this means you know most if not all the players. I understand that Simo Valakari is now playing soccer for the TPS 1922 team in the city of Turku, so I would assume Simo lives in Turku. I met Simo when he played soccer in the States for the FC Dallas an MLS team. I’m looking to get a phone number, email address or a mailing address so I can get in contact with him. Can you help? Thanks
