HSL and Helsinki Cup recommend: use public transport to get to the football field

Helsinki Cup, one the biggest junior football tournaments in Europe, will take place in Helsinki from 9 through 14 July 2012 for the 37th time. All match venues are easily accessible by public transport, so take public transport and avoid traffic jams and parking problems.  

Some 880 junior football teams from 15 countries are expected to the tournament. This means about 17,000 excited footballers and their support teams.

All of the football pitches located around Helsinki as well as the Love the Ball event park located in Töölö are well served by public transport. HSL’s Journey Planner tells you the best connections to the venues. You can search for routes in the Helsinki metropolitan area at a desired time either on a map or by entering addresses in search boxes. 

A day ticket is handy if you plan to make several journeys during one day or several days. You can choose a ticket for 1 – 7 days. Both city internal and regional day tickets are available at several service and sales points as well as from ticket machines. The ticket is valid on all public transport.

In order to encourage the use of public transport during the tournament, HSL has granted free tickets for the organizers of the Helsinki Cup and some of the players.
