Vimpelin Veto

Vimpelin Veto has participated in many sports in Finland over the years, such as basketball.

[1] Vimpelin Veto has won the men's Finnish Pesäpallo Championship (Superpesis) six times in years 1960, 1965, 2010, 2016, 2017 and 2022.

[1] Its well-known competitor is Sotkamon Jymy from Sotkamo, known as long-time rival of Vimpelin Veto.

Star players like Henri Puputti, Sami Haapakoski, Antti Kuusisto and Jere Dahlström were brought in and the result was inevitable: Vimpeli won bronze in 2009 and a year later the Finnish championship was celebrated at Island Field.

[3] In their second successful season since 2009, Vimpeli has won three championships, five silver and four bronze, the latest coming last summer.

In total, Vimpeli has won five championships, 10 silver and 12 bronze medals in its history.

[3] Vimpeli has traditionally started its Sunday games at 1 pm (13:00), unlike other places, because pesäpallo and church services have had to be coordinated.
