History

LoPa were promoted to the Kolmonen in 1976 and the club remained at this level until 1991 when they progressed to the Kakkonen (Second Division), the third tier of the Finnish football system. To date they have played 7 seasons in the Kakkonen over three periods from 1992 to 1994, 2000 and 2007 to the present.[1]

Lohjan Pallo has a strong relationship with the other club from Lohja known as FC Lohja who play in the Vitonen[broken anchor], with the basic concept of sharing the pool of players available to the clubs. In 2009 FC Lohja were relegated from the Nelonen.[2]
