Source-derived summary

PK-35 Vantaa (formerly Pallokerho-35 or PK-35) is a football club based in Vantaa, Finland. The club is "dedicated to women's football" and its representative team plays in the Kansallinen Liiga, the top-tier women's league in Finland (called the Naisten Liiga, 2006–2019). PK-35 Vantaa has won the Finnish Championship six times and the Finnish Women's Cup four times. The club's home ground is the Myyrmäen jalkapallostadion (Myyrmäki Football Stadium) in the Myyrmäki district of Vantaa.

The club had a men's representative team from 2008 until 2016, which last played in the 2016 season of the Veikkausliiga before bankruptcy.

History

Club origins

The club's founding can be traced to 19 September 1935, when a group of 36 footballers gathered in Vyborg, which was part of Finland at that time, to establish Vyborg Ball Club (ViPK). The club remained in operation until 1939, when the Winter War and World War II forced the club to disband. Many club members resettled in Helsinki in the period during and after the wars and, in 1948, the club was reinstated in Helsinki under the new name, Pallokerho-35 (PK-35).

PK-35 Women's team

PK-35 women's representative team was established in 1978 and it first appeared in a Football Association of Finland league in 1982. In 1992, the team reached the qualifiers for the second-flight Naisten I-divisoona (renamed Naisten Ykkönen in 1996) but did not qualify for the league at that time.

Editorial summary

Begin with the source’s own compact description: “PK-35 Vantaa (women)” is finnish women's football team. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through PK-35, Vantaa and women, not as a finished interpretation.

Editorial reviewA dependable orientation record for establishing vocabulary, names and a first evidence trail. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—2006, 2019, 2008, 2016—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1982. For this dossier, PK-35, Vantaa and women is the immediate research focus.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “finnish women's football team” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Oct 20, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q11886211. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2006, 2019, 2008 and 2016.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it
