The Science Park football tournament YritysCup brought local companies together for a relaxed football tournament at Veritas Stadion on Wednesday, September 23rd. The event was organised in cooperation with FC Inter.
Before the matches, the teams gathered for a joint breakfast at Tapahtumatalo Joki. From Joki, they headed to Veritas Stadion, where the matches got underway at 10 am. The morning dawned with autumn sunshine, which we enjoyed throughout the entire tournament day.
In addition to Turun Teknologiakiinteistöt's own team, teams from Rejlers, Wärtsilä, Valmet Automotive, Turun Vesihuolto, and Are participated, as well as teams from Varsinais-Suomen Osuuspankki, X-Sec, and Turun Bisnesseura, invited by FC Inter.
The matches were played in two preliminary groups, with the top four advancing to the final series. Varsinais-Suomen Osuuspankki won the tournament, defeating Wärtsilä 2-1. In the bronze medal match, Rejlers and Turun Bisnesseura faced off, with the latter winning 6-3.
– Thank you to all the participating teams! Everyone gave it their all, and best of all, we got to enjoy a wonderful autumn day at Veritas Stadion in good company, says Carita Varjonen from Teknologiakiinteistöt.
FC Inter's Jimi Lehto was also pleased with the outcome of the day.
– This is partnership at its best: things were prepared and done together from the very beginning. We already received a lot of positive feedback during the day, which encourages us to develop such events to be even better, says Lehto.
