Background

JoKi’s men’s team has competed in the lower divisions of the Finnish football league. They have had mixed results in the last decade and they did not participate in the 2008 season. However, a year later in 2009 they closely missed out on promotion to the Vitonen (Fifth Division) finishing only 1 point behind FC Loviisa and Lahen Pojat JS. On 3 June 2010 the team recorded their biggest ever win with a 30–0 away victory over Hyvinkään Urheiluseura 1.

The club currently has 12 football teams comprising 1 men’s team, 1 ladies team, 5 boys teams, 3 girls' teams and 2 mixed teams. In total there are around 250 players supported by 50 active parents. Football has become a very visible and popular hobby in Jokela. This is reflected by the increasing number of players, which grew by 20% in the Spring 2009. Teams play in leagues run by the SPL Uusimaa district and in the winter months the club now run a number of futsal teams.[2] The club uses pitches at Jokelan kenttä and Puhos Areena.
