The home stadium of FC Hakka, a Finnish professional football team that was demoted from the first division, was burned down in a fire.

According to Finnish media 'Wiele', the wooden stands of FC Haka's home stadium 'Tetan Kenta' were burned at around 8 p.m. on the 7th (local time). The fire spread to artificial turf fields and became unusable.

FC Hakka is a prestigious football club based in the Balka-Kowski district of the Firkanma region of Finland.




Opened in 1934, the stadium can accommodate about 3,500 people, and team training is said to have taken place until just three weeks ago.

FC Haka said "It's a tragic incident. Everyone from the players to the fans was shocked"Fortunately, there were no casualties, and the fire department and officials responded quickly to protect other buildings" he said. He added that the team's management is inevitable.

Earlier, FC Haqqa was relegated from the Finnish first division, Veikkausliiga, last month.




Police are investigating the link between the first division demotion and the fire and estimate the possibility of arson.
