We are a national organization for sport and physical activity, and a registered association. We promote movement and a physically active lifestyle among Finns and build the preconditions for high-quality and renewable club and organizational activities and generate success in elite sports.​

Together with our member organizations and partners we build vitality for Finland through physical activity and sports. 

It starts with a movement

We are the torchbearers of movement, the activists even. We are in a unique position; no one else can assume this role.​  

Olympic Committee in a nutshell 

Like all organizations and associations, our organization is formed by our members. We have 89 full members, 29 associate members, and four individual members. Our activities are guided by the board, whose term lasts for an Olympiad, i.e., four years.  

Decision-making authority is exercised in the organization’s meetings, which are held as follows: the spring meeting in May-June and the autumn meeting in November-December.
