Tempers go at HIFK

Aatu Kujanpää was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Words at HIFK training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Rico Finnäs is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad17 Aug 2026

This league is too small for Tatu Varmanen

He is doing things on a Saturday afternoon that nobody around him can answer, which is flattering for about one season and a problem after that. HIFK will not keep him by pretending otherwise.

Squad17 Aug 2026

HIFK pick somebody else ahead of Anwar Abdi

There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

Match15 Aug 2026

HIFK share the spoils with KuPS

A 1‑1 draw with KuPS leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

Nobody could get near Tiquinho

Successful dribbles: 13. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

HIFK agree a free transfer for Akon Kuek

Nothing happens for months and then he simply arrives, at no cost, having signed a pre-contract while still turning out for somebody else. It is the least dramatic way to sign a footballer and frequently the shrewdest.

Match8 Aug 2026

HIFK see off FC Lahti

Three points for HIFK, 2‑0 the final word against FC Lahti in a contest settled by the finer margins.

This league is too small for Sten Grytebust

Market10 Aug 2026

The clock runs on Aatu Kujanpää's contract

48 months left and silence from upstairs — no offer, no talks, nothing for his people to answer. Clubs that let a calendar do their negotiating usually end up negotiating with the calendar.

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

Aatu Kujanpää takes the honours

Marked 7.67 on an afternoon he ran from the first whistle to the last. Whatever else went wrong, HIFK had the best player on the pitch.

Squad10 Aug 2026

5 new faces, and HIFK are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Willem Haapiainen finally opens his account

He wheeled away like a man who had been carrying it for months, because he had. HIFK have their signing off the mark and one press-conference question retired.

Market10 Aug 2026

Sam Jammeh is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at HIFK has been clear about where Sam Jammeh stands, which is more than many ever get.
