OFFICIAL: HJK win the Veikkausliiga

Helsingin Jalkapalloklubi’s 4-0 victory over Kuopion Palloseura at the Sonera Stadium means that Kévin Gauthier’s men have won their 31st title overall and second in a row. This is Gauthier’s first title win with Klubi.

The capital side continued their good run, which they have not lost since a meeting with IFK Mariehamn back in June. Juho Hiltunen grabbed two goals, while Jonathan Ikone added one and new signing Llyes Bonnet added another in his debut. For HJK this was their fifteenth shutout of the 2020 Veikkausliiga.

It was a thoroughly emphatic way for HJK to secure the crown.

The Sonera Stadium club have held the leadership of the league since match day ten of the season and have enjoyed a memorable campaign that has seen them utterly dominate Veikkausliiga.

21 year old striker Juho Hiltunen was the main reason for such a great season. In the 27 matches played so far he has scored a league leading 22 goals. Without his hard work in front of goal the table might be much closer.

They have accrued an unassailable lead of 16 points over second-placed FC Ilves with just six matches remaining to claim the title at an unprecedentedly early stage.

With the league title in the bag, Gauthier’s men will now focus on reclaiming a domestic double they have been wanting since last season and will also seek to finish strong going into the 2021 season.

Glory glory Kevin Gauthier! Glory glory Kevin Gauthier!

Congratulations on securing the league title, yet another trophy to add to your collection!

Another league title! Amazing stuff! And I got 400th reply

Everyone Thanks for the post and also thanks for getting this story 400 post

HJK Helsinki and Umbro have announced a ten-year technical kit and sportswear partnership which will kick off at the start of the 2021 season.

The double diamond of Umbro will adorn all on-pitch products for Klubi’s mens, ladies and Academy teams, as well as training and leisurewear for both players and fans.

This is the first time the two have partnered up.

Paul Nugent, VP of Global Marketing for Umbro, commented: “HJK are a very hard working club who have been the class of the Veikkausliiga with winning the 31st title. They fit in well with the Umbro family, so we are delighted to have established our technical kit partnership with them. Both Umbro and HJK Helsinki have rich histories, however we are looking forward, not back, and aspiring to create new moments for fans to celebrate.”

Olli-Pekka Lyytikäinen, Chairman at HJK, said: “We are delighted to welcome Umbro to Klubi as technical kit supplier. Umbro are building an impressive portfolio of clubs and it will be great to have their famous logo attached to our club."

“It’s a brand with a rich football heritage and is the perfect fit for our iconic strip. The team at Umbro have shown great respect for our history and tradition, but also have a fresh outlook, which makes it an exciting partnership at the core of the club over the next few years,” said manager Kévin Gauthier

HJK Helsinki’s 2021 kits will be revealed a few weeks into December before the Christmas rush and ahead of the new season.

Helsingin Jalkapalloklubi’s Michael Essien has confirmed he will be retiring from the game at the end of the 2020 Veikkausliiga season at the end of October. Since joining Klubi back in April Essien has made 15 appearances for the club.

Despite the fact he did not play as much this season as he hoped to, his experience has been very valuable to the club. One thing he has been doing is helping out the younger players with their training and teaching them how to play better.

In a statement to the club Essien said, “I would like to announce my retirement from football and it has been a great career. I have been all over and have won some of the most prestigious competitions in the world but I feel like after this season I am ready to retire, but it will not be the end of my career as I will enter coaching.”

Manager Kévin Gauthier announced after the season Michael would be joining the HJK coaching squad working as a coach in the academy.

Good news about the umbro update mate, shame about essien retiring though
