Wikipedia - FC POHU
Pohjois-Haagan Urheilijat (abbreviated FC POHU) is a football club from Pohjois-Haaga in Helsinki, Finland. The club was formed in 1957 and has developed into a very large organisation with a large number of teams competing in various leagues. There are currently around eleven teams competing at senior level, and many more at junior level. As of 2024, the club had a team playing in Finnish seventh-tier Vitonen.
History
The construction of the Pohjois-Haaga (North Haaga) district of Helsinki began in the early 1950s and at that time there were about a thousand inhabitants. By 1957 the population had grown to nearly ten thousand, including a substantial number of children. This created pressure on the establishment of a sports club.
On 15 November 1957 a number of proactive residents held a meeting and founded the Pohjois-Haagan Urheilijat club (North Haaga Sportsmen's club). The club soon offered multi-sports opportunities and a focus for young people who were interested in sport.
By 1960 the club had representative sides competing at football, handball, volleyball and bandy. By the late 1970s POHU specialised at club football and women's football activity increased. Success in the late 1960s saw the club men's team progress to Division IV and then to Division III and almost gain promotion to the old Division II in 1971. They eventually succeeded in 1976. The year 1977 proved to be the club's pinnacle with one season in the Kakkonen, the third tier of Finnish football. In the subsequent years the team has played in Division III (Kolmonen) and Division IV (Nelonen).
The late 1980s and the 1990s saw the rapid expansion of the junior section with the formation of numerous boys and girls teams.
