Background
JoKi’s men’s team has competed in the lower divisions of the Finnish football league. The last decade has been a very mixed bag and they did not even participate in the 2008 season. However, a year later in 2009 they just missed out on promotion to the Vitonen (Fifth Division) finishing only 1 point behind FC Loviisa and Lahen Pojat JS. On 3 June 2010 the team recorded their biggest ever win with a 30–0 away victory over Hyvinkään Urheiluseura 1.
The club currently has 12 football teams comprising 1 men’s team, 1 ladies team, 5 boys teams, 3 girls' teams and 2 mixed teams. In total there are around 250 players supported by 50 active parents. Football has become a very visible and popular hobby in Jokela. This is reflected by the increasing number of players which grew by 20% in the Spring 2009. Teams play in leagues run by the SPL Uusimaa district and in the winter months the club now run a couple of futsal teams.[2] The club uses pitches at Jokelan kenttä and Puhos Areena.
