Finnish Football Hall of Fame
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Honorary gallery in Valkeakoski, Finland
Finnish Football Hall of Fame is an honorary gallery which was established in 1993, and is located in the Football Museum of Finland [fi] (Finnish: Suomen Jalkapallomuseo) in Valkeakoski. Players, coaches, referees or other persons that are merited in developing the Finnish football are eligible to be named in the gallery.[1]
The inductions are decided by a certain committee. The committee consists of representatives of the Football Association of Finland, Sports Museum of Finland, Football Museum of Finland and Pallo-Kopla, the association of Finnish sports journalists. A player is eligible to be named in the gallery after three years have passed since their playing career ended.[2]
