history
KooTeePee played in the first season 2001 in the western season of the third class Kakkonen and won the championship there without defeat and rose to the Ykkönen . In the 2002 season, KooTeePee won the southern season of the Ykkönen and just about made it into the first-class Veikkausliiga in the relegation round . The club stayed there for six seasons between 2003 and 2008 and achieved its best position in the league with eighth place. Since relegation in 2008, the team is back in the Ykkönen. In the 2014 season , Kotka was in first place from the second to the penultimate match day, but missed the second division championship due to a draw on the last match day due to the worse goal difference. Since two first division teams were denied the license for the upcoming first division season , KTP was able to advance, but immediately rose again as the penultimate.
KooTeePee won the TUL Cup , the trophy competition for workers' sports clubs, in 2004, 2005, 2010 and 2012.
