Tapiolan Honka
Finnish basketball team
Tapiolan Honka is a professional basketball club that is based in Tapiola, Espoo, Finland. The club's senior men's team plays in the Finland's top-tier level league, the Korisliiga.
History
It was founded as a sports club named Tapion Honka in 1957. The senior men's basketball section separated from the rest of the sports club in 1975, and took the name of Tapiolan Honka. In 1976, Tapiolan Honka and Honka Playboys merged, under the name of Playhonka. So, from 1976 onwards, the men's senior first team was known as Playhonka.
After that, Tapiolan Honka operated as a feeder team for Playhonka, and also oversaw the club's youth team sections. Playhonka would eventually become known as Espoon Honka in 1985. The Espoon Honka club was ultimately dissolved in 2011, and the senior men's team was reestablished, under the original name of Tapiolan Honka, and retaining the Tapiolan Honka club's history.
The team was promoted up to the Finnish top-tier level competition, the Korisliiga, from the Finnish second-tier level competition, the I division A, in 2024.

Why this record matters
“Tapiolan Honka” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Tapiolan, Honka and Finnish provides the most credible route into that argument.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 4, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q16637850. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1957, 1975, 1976 and 1985.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
