A falling-out at Inter Turku

Jussi Niska and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Leo Jensen steps up from the Inter Turku academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Leo Jensen has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Riku Ojala steps up from the Inter Turku academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Riku Ojala has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Bismark Ampofo gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Bismark Ampofo is on it.

The dugout12 Oct 2026

Jean Botué knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Inter Turku, and both men came out saying it was fine.

The Loic Essomba talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Inter Turku know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

Tempers go at Inter Turku

Eetu Huuhtanen 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.

Bismark Ampofo falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

No hiding place for Albin Granlund

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Albin Granlund, and the manager let it.

When it matters, Herman Sjögrell plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

The Herman Sjögrell talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Inter Turku know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

Jasse Tuominen has been promised minutes

A conversation in the manager’s office, and a commitment that came out of it. Promises like that are cheap to make and expensive to break, and Jasse Tuominen has written the date down.

Match1 Aug 2026

Cruel end for HJK as Inter Turku pounce

There is no crueller way to lose a football match. Inter Turku scored in the 92th minute, the restart barely happened, and the away end was still standing when the whistle went.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Eetu Huuhtanen stands alone

6 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Player ratings3 Aug 2026

Jussi Niska was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 26. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Robert Ivanov stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Robert Ivanov and Inter Turku agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Eetu Huuhtanen in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Inter Turku this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Inter Turku lose Luka Kuittinen

16 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Transfer targets3 Aug 2026

Inter Turku rebuffed over Andrea Santarcangelo

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Casarano have kept their man, and Inter Turku go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

The terraces3 Aug 2026

One of their own: Eetu Huuhtanen

He is 23 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Match1 Aug 2026

Inter Turku find a way past HJK

HJK made Inter Turku work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.
