There’s another reason to celebrate at Fundis – Malmin Palloseura, or MPS, has joined us. It’s a familiar name to many Helsinki football families. Since 1948, the club has provided a playing field for those who want to kick the ball seriously, but with a relaxed approach. It’s a club where participation doesn’t require star status or a thick wallet – just enthusiasm, community spirit, and a can-do attitude.
For many, the MPS player journey begins at an early age and continues well into adulthood – there’s room on the field for everyone, and that’s exactly what makes the club such an important part of Northeast Helsinki’s identity.
Now this wonderful club is part of Fundis, and that means one thing: supporting them is easier than ever.
When you pay for your purchases with the Fundis app at participating stores, part of the amount goes directly to support MPS activities. And best of all – you can direct your support to an individual team. It’s a bit like choosing your favorite team and cheering for them from the stands, but with your wallet.
Director Joni Ilvonen perfectly sums up why this partnership felt right from the start:
We see a huge networking opportunity in Fundis. Fundis brings communities and merchants together. At the same time, it represents reliability and impact. Football should be a low-threshold sport, and we’re concerned about rising costs. MPS’s operating principle is that we’re an affordable club, and all means to that end are welcome. Additionally, team-level support is a great feature in Fundis.
And when we asked Fundis’s Seppo Kuusinen why MPS in particular makes him smile, the answer came straight from the heart:
MPS represents grassroots football at its best. Thousands of players have started their football journey at MPS over the decades. This is exactly the kind of activity that Fundis wants to support.
At Fundis, we believe that football should be for everyone – and MPS seems to think the same way. It’s a joy to welcome a club that plays fair, builds community, and does things with heart.
Welcome to Fundis, MPS!
