HJK is the only club in Europe that is the record champion in its country in both men's and women's football. As the only Finnish club so far, HJK made it into the group stage of the UEFA Champions League in the 1998/99 season , and HJK was also the only team from Finland to qualify for the group stage of the UEFA Europa League in the 2014/15 season .

In the past the club also had departments in other sports and won three Finnish ice hockey and five bandy championships.

history

The Helsingin Jalkapalloklubi was founded in 1907 under the direction of Fredrik Wathen . The team quickly developed into one of the leading teams in the country and in 1911 won the title at the fourth edition of the national championship, which was then played in cup mode. With the title defense the following year, the club advanced to the record champions, before KIF Helsinki overtook the club with three championships in a row in 1916. After HJK had drawn level with the championship in 1917, the team won three championships in a row by 1919 and was again record champions. After two more championship titles in 1923 and 1925, local rivals Helsingin Palloseura took over a dominant position in Finnish football. With the introduction of the league system and thus the Mestaruussarja as the highest division in 1930, the club was not considered for the elite series and was classified as second class. After three seasons in 1932, the rise succeeded.

HJK had again lost the position of record champion in 1935 after the eighth title from HPS, but after the championships of 1936 and 1938 the club again took the lead, which it still holds today ( as of the end of the 2009 season ). In 1936, the club also provided Kurt Weckström , Aatos Lehtonen and Armas Pyy, three players for the Finnish national team at the Olympic Games in Berlin , which failed on the Hertha Platz against Peru .

After a foreign coach was officially hired for the first time in 1948 with the Englishman George Duke , it took another nine years until Mauno Rintanen - he went to Hull City in England - a player from HJK moved abroad for the first time. In 1960, the club signed Aulis Rytkönen, a former foreign professional, when he returned to Finland from the French club FC Toulouse . As a player-coach, he led the now second-rate club into the top division and at the end of the 1964 season to the tenth championship title in the club's history. As a consequence, the club appeared for the first time in the European Cup, but in the first round of the 1965/66 competition , the team failed after two defeats at the English representative Manchester United . The following year the club won the national cup for the first time when Kotkan Työvänen Palloilijat was outclassed by a 6-1 win in the final .

HJK settled in the front table area towards the end of the 1960s. With a few exceptions, the club was one of the top three teams in the league, but it was not until the 1973 season before another championship was won by two points ahead of Kokkola PV . In the following seasons, the club fluctuated between the front table area and relegation battle. 1978 won the championship again, this time Koparit was distanced. With the beginning of the 1980s, HJK developed an almost dominant position in the league. Up to and including 1990, the club won five championship titles and finished the league twice as runners-up.

In 1981 he also won the double by winning the cup . After another championship in 1992, a dry spell followed until 1997, in which, however, two cup wins could be booked. The team around Mika Kottila , Jari Ilola , Aki Riihilahti , Piracaia and Markku Kanerva reached the group stage of the competition in the subsequent Champions League season after victories over FC Yerevan and FC Metz . There the club failed despite a win against Benfica Lisbon behind 1. FC Kaiserslautern and PSV Eindhoven with five points as the bottom of the group.

Although still regularly represented in the top flight of the league, it was not until 2002 before HJK won the championship again under coach Keith Armstrong . After successfully defending their title, in 2003 the team also won the trophy for the eighth time in the club's history and thus the second double in the club's history. 2006 and 2008 again cup winners, the club, which has been coached by Antti Muurinen since 2007, won the championship again at the end of the 2009 season with three points ahead of FC Honka . The title was defended in 2010.

As a champion, you took part in qualifying for the UEFA Champions League . In the second qualifying round they prevailed against the Welsh club Bangor City . After a 3-0 win in Bangor, HJK celebrated a 10-0 win at their home in Sonera Stadium, the highest ever win by a Finnish club in a European club competition. In the third qualifying round, HJK failed to Dinamo Zagreb and met the German Bundesliga club FC Schalke 04 in the play-offs for the UEFA Europa League . HJK sensationally won the first leg in Helsinki 2-0. Teemu Pukki scored both goals . In the second leg, in Gelsenkirchen, they lost against the team around Raúl and Klaas-Jan Huntelaar with 1: 6 and missed participation in the group stage.

At the end of August 2011, two top performers left HJK Helsinki and entered the German Bundesliga . Dawda Bah moved to FC Augsburg , while Teemu Pukki signed with FC Schalke 04 . In the 2012 season , HJK won the Finnish championship for the 25th time and was able to defend its title in 2013 with the fifth championship in a row.

In 2014 they were able to eliminate SK Rapid Wien in the Europa League play-offs . In the group stage of the 2014/15 UEFA Europa League , they won one game each against FC Turin and FC Copenhagen .
