Seinäjoki United – Field Hockey
Seinäjoki United is a field hockey club from Southern Ostrobothnia, founded in 2000. Over the years, the club has offered activities for all ages – juniors, women and men.
Currently, the juniors – over 15 years of age – are playing in other clubs. The men’s team has transitioned from the former large field team (field hockey) to a small field team (Hockey5), while the women’s team remains the club’s primary competitive focus.
In May 2025, the team represented Finland at the Eurohockey Club Challenge II tournament in Copenhagen, Denmark. Later that year, Seinäjoki United achieved a historic milestone by winning its first Women’s Field Hockey Finnish Championship title. The success continued in 2026 with victory in the Women’s Hockey5 Finnish Championship.
Today, the team continues to develop, compete for national titles and represent Seinäjoki United in European club competitions.
Seinäjoki United is participating in the following leagues for the upcoming 2027-2028 season:
- Women’s Field Hockey Finnish Championship
- Women’s Hockey5 Finnish Championship
- Men’s Hockey5 Finnish Championship

What is field hockey?
Field hockey is one of the oldest and most widely spread ball sports in the world. It has been part of the Olympics since 1928 and arrived in Finland in the early 1950s.
In a field hockey match, two teams, each with 11 players, compete against each other. The objective is to control the ball with the field hockey stick and score goals in the opposing team’s goal. A match consists of four 15-minute periods. For more information about the rules of the field hockey, please visit the Finnish Hockey Association website.
Seinäjoki United organizes field hockey presentations for clubs, associations, schools and companies. If you are interested in the demonstration, book it for free below!
