The FC Lahti Post

Oliver Helttunen sends FC Lahti through
Cup ties wait for somebody to seize them, and Oliver Helttunen obliged against KTP. 3‑0 on the night, and the name in the next round’s hat is FC Lahti.
Player ratings17 Aug 2026
Both of them Oliver Helttunen's — 8.32
2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.32, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Supporters turn on the $360.0K sale of Tòfol Montiel
He is going to KäPa, the club has $360.0K it did not have on Friday, and the phone-ins have already decided how they feel about that. Selling well and selling somebody they loved are not the same skill.
Boardroom17 Aug 2026
Window shuts: 13 in, 1 out at FC Lahti
The deadline has passed and the squad is the squad. 13 arrived, 1 left, and everything else printed about this club last month was a rumour that stayed one.

No thanks: Enis Ujkaj rejects the move
FC Lahti had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at Pescara, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.
Match12 Aug 2026
FC Lahti cannot stop winning
3 wins on the spin now, and the question has changed from whether the run ends to who ends it. Confidence like this cannot be bought; it has to be earned exactly this way.
Transfer targets17 Aug 2026
FC Lahti make their move for Ilari Kangasniemi
$29.0K on the table at Inter Turku. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.
Market17 Aug 2026
Tòfol Montiel moves on
KäPa pay $360.0K, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.
Transfer targets17 Aug 2026
FC Lahti rebuffed over Samson Ngulube
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. IFK Mariehamn have kept their man, and FC Lahti go back to a list with one name crossed off it.
In brief
- The terraces The crowd has taken to Aaron Lindholm
- The dugout No hiding place for Armend Kabashi
