'''Porin Palloilijat''' or formerly '''FC PoPa''' is a [[Finland|Finnish]] [[football (soccer)|football]] club, based in the city of [[Pori]] in [[Finland]]. The club currently plays in the [[Vitonen]], the seventh highest level of [[Finnish football league system|Finnish football]]. The club was established in 1925 but did not operate between 1960 and 1981.

==History==
Porin Palloilijat is the oldest team sports club in Pori being over 85 years old. Bror Weckström had the original idea of forming a new team in Pori and on 16 April 1925 the first meeting of PoPa was held in the café at Pori Theatre.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.hallituskatu14.com/popahistory.html |title=A Short History of PoPa |accessdate=9 June 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080601065411/http://www.hallituskatu14.com/popahistory.html |archive-date=1 June 2008 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

It was decided to form a team called Porin Palloilijat and to make [[football (soccer)|football]] and [[bandy]] their main focus. The first Committee members were Erkki Laitinen, J. Kari, Bror Weckström, O. Huhtanen, A. Forsberg and H. Lingvist. In May 1925 the constitution and rules for the club were prepared and the team was registered on 13 May 1925. They also included [[ice-hockey]], women's [[basketball]] and [[ice-skating]] within the club's featured programme. The first chairman was Erkki Laitinen and he was later followed by Veikko Laitinen.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.hallituskatu14.com/popahistory.html |title=A Short History of PoPa |accessdate=9 June 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080601065411/http://www.hallituskatu14.com/popahistory.html |archive-date=1 June 2008 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

PoPa played their first games at Liisantori and then later at Tiilimäki before moving in 1929 to the football and ice-hockey field at Juhannuslehto. The club later moved to the Herralahti football ground.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.hallituskatu14.com/popahistory.html |title=A Short History of PoPa |accessdate=9 June 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080601065411/http://www.hallituskatu14.com/popahistory.html |archive-date=1 June 2008 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

PoPa had a rich early history playing 10 seasons in the Suomisarja (Finland League) which at that time was the second tier of [[Finnish football league system|Finnish football]] in 1937–39 and 1945–51.<ref>{{cite news |title=Finland – Divisional Movements 1930–2009 |year=2010 |website=[[RSSSF]] |url=https://www.rsssf.org/tablesf/finall.html |accessdate=9 June 2010}}</ref>

They have had three periods covering 7 seasons in the [[Kakkonen]] (Second Division), the third tier of [[Finnish football league system|Finnish football]] in 1989, 2002–03 and 2005–08.<ref>{{cite news |title=Finland – Divisional Movements 1930–2009 |year=2010 |website=[[RSSSF]] |url=https://www.rsssf.org/tablesf/finall.html |accessdate=9 June 2010}}</ref>

FC PoPa Oy took over the responsibility for the sport and financial operation of the principal team in 2007.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.fcpopa.fi/en/seura.asp |title=FC PoPa |accessdate=9 June 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110720181200/http://www.fcpopa.fi/en/seura.asp |archive-date=20 July 2011 |url-status=dead }}</ref> In season 2007 PoPa played in the Kakkonen (Second Division) in the Western Group, reaching second place just one point short of promotion to the [[Ykkönen]] (First Division). In 2008 the team went one better winning the Western Group of Second Division in a crushing manner and were promoted to the Ykkönen for 2009.

The club maintained their rapid progress in 2009 by finishing 4th in the Ykkönen and are well on target of bringing [[Veikkausliiga]] football back to Pori. The key people behind the initiative are [[Antti Sumiala]] (sport and managing director), [[Rami Nieminen]] (manager / marketing executive), [[Pertti Lundell]] (coach) and [[Risto Puustinen]] (coach).<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.fcpopa.fi/en/seura.asp |title=FC PoPa |accessdate=9 June 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110720181200/http://www.fcpopa.fi/en/seura.asp |archive-date=20 July 2011 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

From the beginning, the focal point of new executive board has been raising the football in Pori and Satakunta back to the top level in Finland. The strategy of FC PoPa is to play attacking and entertaining football, to develop young, talented players for the use of FC PoPa and to sell the most talented players to the foreign professional clubs.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.fcpopa.fi/en/seura.asp |title=FC PoPa |accessdate=9 June 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110720181200/http://www.fcpopa.fi/en/seura.asp |archive-date=20 July 2011 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

FC PoPa changed their name back to Porin Palloilijat in 2012.
