FC Jokerit was a Finnish professional football club based in Helsinki, Finland.[1]
It was founded in 1999. The club was known for its wild supporters, 116% Boys, and for its owner, Hjallis Harkimo who was also the owner of Jokerit, an ice hockey club based in Helsinki.[2]
FC Jokerit's last season of football was in 2003, finishing 10th in Veikkausliiga. The club was sold to rivals HJK Helsinki in March 2004, renamed to Klubi-04 and established in Kakkonen.[3]
Jokerit F.C. Helsinki were formed as a supporters´ phoenix club in 2012 and participate in the Tali Halli TM league. Because of the sale and reformation of the original Jokerit, Jokerit FC (or JFC Helsinki) consider HJK Helsinki and Klubi-04 as rivals, despite the fact that they rarely play each other due to the divisions between them.
