Kankaanpään Maila

[1] The home ground of Kankaanpään Maila is the Pohjanlinna Stadium.

Its blood rival and big brother in the early days was Ulvilan Pesä-Veikot.

Ulvila won the Finnish championship in 1970, but the following year Kankaanpää overtook them to take silver.

[2] Although the club has only won one medal since the 1970s (bronze in 1988), it has remained firmly on the pesäpallo map.

The club has played in the major league continuously since the late 1960s, with the exception of a few isolated breaks and one longer one (2003–2010) After returning to the Superpesis in 2011, the club built a strong team and finished sixth in the regular season.
