HJK Cup – international tournament 2021

HJK Cup is an annual, international Academy level youth football tournament played in Helsinki, Finland in September.

The 15th HJK Cup will be played 2.-5.9.2021 in Tali Sports park and Töölö Football Campus areas (shuttle bus connection between venues will be available for participating teams)

The tournament offers quality matches on good artificial turf and natural grass pitches – and a great atmosphere in Helsinki.
