The Finnish triple champion could not just disappear. A group of fans called TamU-K took over the operation of the football and kept the colors of the club alive. Now, five years later, it all goes back to how it was before.
Well, almost everything. Four years ago, the Tampere United were in the first division of the Finnish football and, at best, will come back in the fourth level of national football. At this time, TamU-K is part of the fifth division, called Nelonen. For season 2016, K will be abandoned from the name and the club returns to its old name with a new elected board. Some members will continue in charge.
Operation details are still coming in, but it is certain that the Tampere United will continue to be a club controlled by fans and decisions are taken by them. "The success story of the club can not be buried with the problems of the company that ran it five years ago," said the Honorary Chairman Jyrki Laiho.
Founded in 1998, the Tampere United had already won three championships. Also won the 2006 and 2007 titles and came to participate in the preliminary stages of the Champions League at the time. Now renovated, tries to leave the controversies behind and build a new story. Thanks to its fans.
