Wikipedia - Ykkönen

Ykkönen (Finnish for 'Number One'; Swedish: Ettan, previously I divisioona) is the third highest level of the Finnish football league system (after the Veikkausliiga and Ykkösliiga), managed by the Football Association of Finland. Until the end of 2023, Ykkönen was the second-highest level in Finland, but after the creation of new second-tier Ykkösliiga, it was dropped down one level in the league pyramid.

History

The first league format competition in the second level of Finnish football was called Suomensarja, which was founded in 1936. Before the inauguration of the Suomensarja, from 1930 to 1935, there had been special qualification matches for the right to play in the Mestaruussarja.

In the autumn of 1969, the Finnish football underwent a league system reform, and the Suomensarja was renamed II divisioona, or 2nd Division, with regional sections.

In 1973, this level of football in Finland became nationwide, and the new name was 1. divisioona (First Division). The name Ykkönen has been used since 1995.

The new nation-wide third-tier Ykkönen will start running in 2024, as the first ever nation-wide third-tier league in Finland.

The Finland Ykkösliiga, also known as the Finnish First Division, is the second tier of professional football in Finland. Established in 1973, this competitive league serves as a crucial stepping stone for clubs aspiring to reach the top tier, the Veikkausliiga. The tournament features a dynamic mix of established teams and emerging clubs, showcasing the talent and passion for football that Finland has to offer.

Typically consisting of 12 teams, the Ykkösliiga operates on a promotion and relegation system, where the top teams vie for promotion to the Veikkausliiga, while the bottom teams face the risk of relegation to the Kakkonen, the third tier of Finnish football. The season usually runs from April to October, with each team playing a total of 22 matches, creating an exciting and fast-paced schedule.

Fans can expect thrilling matches filled with skillful play, strategic battles, and the fervent support of local communities. The Ykkösliiga not only highlights the development of Finnish football talent but also serves as a platform for clubs to build their legacies and engage with passionate supporters. With its rich history and competitive spirit, the Finland Ykkösliiga is a vital part of the country's football landscape, drawing attention from fans and scouts alike.
