🎥 Stadium of a Finnish club set on fire after relegation 😱 | OneFootball

Terrifying images.

These are shocking images that reached us from Finland last weekend.

Several weeks after FC Haka's relegation to the second division, the club's stadium fell victim to an arson attack.

The flames ravaged a stand that could accommodate 400 people and also irreparably damaged the synthetic turf of the 3000-seat stadium.

The police have arrested three teenagers under the age of 15, one of whom reportedly admitted to setting fire to an object that started the blaze. However, Finnish law prohibits criminal prosecution of minors under 15, although they can be held civilly responsible for the damages.

The municipality of Valkeakoski and local authorities have already begun assessing the demolition, cleaning, and repair work to restore the stadium as quickly as possible.

Founded in 1934, FC Haka is one of Finland's historic clubs, with nine championship titles and twelve cups, and its Tehtaan Kenttä stadium has been part of the local landscape since the 1930s.
