O Veikkausliiga

Veikkausliiga Istorija, Organizacija, Medijska Pokrivenost

Veikkausliiga je najviši rang profesionalne fudbalske lige u Finskoj. Iako prvenstvo najvišeg ranga postoji od 1930. godine, ovo takmičenje osnovano je 1990. i rukovodi ga Fudbalski savez Finske.

Veikkausliiga je tokom svoje istorije pretrpela brojne promene. Trenutno finska liga broji 12 klubova koji se takmiče svake sezone. Šampionat se odvija po sistemu dvostruke round-robin lige, što znači da svaki tim igra protiv svakog kluba dva puta (kod kuće i u gostima) tokom regularne sezone koja obuhvata 22 utakmice.

Nakon završetka regularne sezone, šest najboljih timova iz Veikkausliige ulazi u plej-of za šampiona, dok šest najlošije plasiranih ide u plej-aut. Svaki tim tada odigra još pet utakmica, ukupno 27 ogleda. Tim sa najviše bodova osvaja titulu Veikkausliige, dok klub na dnu tabele nakon plej-auta ispada u Ykkösliigu, finsku drugu fudbalsku ligu. Šampion Ykkösliige zamenjuje ispali tim iz Veikkausliige.

U međuvremenu, pretposlednji tim iz plej-auta ide u baraž za opstanak, gde se suočava sa drugoplasiranim timom Ykkösliige u dvostrukom susretu. Pobednik ovog dvomeča ili osvaja ili zadržava svoje mesto u Veikkausliigi za narednu sezonu.

Zbog surovih vremenskih uslova u Finskoj tokom zime, sezona Veikkausliige obično počinje u aprilu i završava se u oktobru ili novembru. Šampion Finske u najvišoj ligi stiče mesto u prvom kvalifikacionom kolu UEFA Lige šampiona.

HJK, FC Haka i KuPS su neki od istaknutih timova u ovom takmičenju. FC Haka je bila prva koja je osvojila uzastopne Veikkausliiga titule, kada su slavili tri puta zaredom između 1998. i 2000. godine. HJK je otišao korak dalje, osvojivši impresivnih šest titula u nizu između 2009. i 2014. godine, dok su u osam od 10 sezona od 2009. do 2018. osvojili prvenstvo najvišeg ranga.

Naziv lige, Veikkausliiga, dolazi od njenog glavnog sponzora, finske kladionice Veikkaus. Pre 1990. godine, liga najvišeg ranga bila je poznata kao Mestaruussarja. Dodatno, tokom prve dve sezone, liga se zvala Futisliiga.
