Events
Event application form
Events organised at sports facilities must be applied for using the event application form (in Finnish).
Matches and events organised at sports facilities
For most sports facilities, there is no separate application period for events. Event applications are processed on a rolling basis in the order they are received. However, the application must be submitted no later than two months before the event. The event booking will be confirmed to the customer by email.
The event form must be completed carefully, taking into account the time needed for setting up and dismantling the event. It is advisable to provide an alternative venue and time for the event, where possible. The application must also state the preferred event venue and the equipment needed. Please note that booking and transporting equipment is subject to a fee.
Kupittaa Sports Hall and Kupittaa Ball Game Hall are very busy and popular event venues. The application periods below apply to events held at these facilities. Applications received after the application period will be processed on a rolling basis in the order they are received.
- Apply for events taking place between 1 March and 30 September by 30 September. Apply using the application form.
- Apply for events taking place between 1 October and 28 February by 31 May. Apply using the application form.
Events taking place between March and September that have been applied for during the application period, by the end of September, will be processed and confirmed to the customer in October.
Events taking place between October and February that have been applied for during the application period, by the end of May, will be processed and confirmed to the customer in June.
Please note that Kupittaa halls receive a large number of event applications, especially for October–November and April–May. When applying for an event, the choice of both venue and date should therefore be considered carefully. For weekend events at Kupittaa Ball Game Hall, please also note that there are usually match bookings in the facilities on Fridays. This means that event setup cannot be carried out on Friday evening, and the preparations must instead be made on the morning of the event day.
Application periods for regular bookings
Regular and single bookings for sports facilities managed by the City of Turku are mainly granted based on applications. Bookings are applied for in the Timmi booking system. For some sports facilities, bookings are allocated among the main user clubs based on a points system. Bookings outside the points system are allocated based on applications.
Below, you can find the seasons, application and processing periods for regular bookings at sports facilities, as well as any other procedures related to the allocation of bookings. Regular bookings are allocated after the application periods have ended. Applications submitted late will not be included in the main processing round, but regular bookings can also be applied for during the season, in which case applications are processed on a rolling basis. Not all sports facilities have a separate application period; for example, in the summer season, bookings for ball game fields are granted based on the points system, after which available slots can be applied for on a rolling basis.
Camps and sports schools held during the daytime in school holiday periods must be applied for using the event form. For the summer, applications must be submitted during the preceding January. For other holidays, such as autumn, Christmas and winter holidays, applications must be submitted during the preceding March. Applications submitted later will be processed on a rolling basis.
Bookings are invoiced according to the current price list.
Here are the booking and cancellation terms as well as key and invoicing practices.

Winter season
Applying for bookings: Before regular bookings for the winter season are allocated, the sports facilities take into account the schools’ own booking needs related to teaching, the sports bookings of the Turku Region Sports Academy and the workers’ institutes, as well as bookings related to the guidance and service activities of Sports Services.
In addition, some bookings are granted in advance, before the application period begins, to Turku-based indoor sports clubs that organise established activities and have several regular weekly bookings, or have special needs that limit the range of suitable gyms. The aim is to reduce the workload of clubs and provide consistency and continuity for organising activities. At the same time, this practice makes it possible to take into account needs arising from changes in activities and to ensure equal treatment from the perspective of all parties applying for bookings in sports facilities. Clubs included in the advance allocation will be informed of the allocation separately.
Bookings not included in the advance allocation are allocated based on applications. Applications submitted in the Timmi booking system during the application period in March will be processed by customer service and confirmed separately to the customer.

Allocation of bookings and points-based criteria for ball game fields
Allocation of bookings and points models by facility type
Objectives
Sports Services allocates regular bookings for municipal football training facilities each season in accordance with the booking allocation principles decided by the Sports Committee. The aim is to meet the facility needs of football clubs as well as possible, taking into account recreational and competitive activities, the number of participants and league levels. The aim is also to take into account the use of local and nearby fields that are important from the perspective of clubs’ activities. When allocating the very limited winter-season training facilities, particular attention is paid to those for whom these facilities are considered essential for their activities.
A points model is used as a tool for allocating bookings. The model calculates each club’s seasonal share of the total number of hours available in different sports facilities based on the number of teams and participants. The points model, which increases equality and transparency, is used to allocate bookings for municipal indoor and outdoor training facilities. The aim is also to make the use of sports facilities more efficient, both in terms of allocation and the actual use of granted bookings. Clubs’ own training facilities do not affect the points used in the regular booking allocation.
The City also supports elite sports and the development opportunities of young footballers through the sports facility resources allocated to the Turku Region Sports Academy. The points model does not affect the Sports Academy’s bookings.
Points model as a tool for allocating regular bookings
In the points model guiding the allocation of bookings, each club’s team-specific points are added together and multiplied by the number of playing and/or recreational passes held by the club. The total points determine the number of regular bookings the club receives from the available bookings. After Sports Services has allocated the bookings, each club allocates the training slots it has received to its teams according to its own priorities.
The Football Association of Finland provides the club-specific league level and licence information used in the points system according to the latest round, autumn or spring, depending on the timing of the allocation. For calculation purposes, a player or participant can be assigned to only one team within a club. The completed allocation of bookings is binding, and only the effect of significant changes, such as the discontinuation of activities, can be reviewed after bookings have been allocated.
Allocation of regular bookings
The regular booking points system takes into account hours on weekdays approximately from 16.00 to 21.00 and on weekends approximately from 8.00 to 20.00, depending on the sports facility. Teams training at other times, such as representative teams, are not included in the points-based allocation. The total number of hours available for each facility type is confirmed each season. This number is affected, for example, by sports facilities under renovation or by restrictions on the use of facilities.
When bookings are allocated, attention is paid to distributing them fairly across different times, such as prime time, weekdays and weekends. Unnecessary bookings must be cancelled. Clubs may exchange regular bookings allocated to them with each other. Sports Services must be informed of any exchanges in a way that clearly shows the consent of both parties.
Additional regular and single bookings can be applied for during any available times for activities for all age groups and, depending on the field, also for other sports. Other sports that use the same field conditions as football clubs include lacrosse, American football, rugby and field hockey, as well as Finnish baseball and baseball in Impivaara Football Hall. Other sports are also taken into account in the points-based allocation so that the number of hours offered is calculated based on the ratio of participants in these sports to the total number of football participants.
Match bookings
Match bookings have been reserved for full-size artificial turf fields and Impivaara grass field. Match bookings are not included in the total booking capacity to be allocated. They are therefore additional bookings for clubs to organise matches. Unnecessary match bookings must be reported by clubs or the Football Association to Sports Services so that they can be opened for normal booking allocation.
Clubs place their own matches in the match bookings directly through the Football Association’s TASO system. Clubs may also continue to place matches during their own training bookings. Separate instructions will be provided on match bookings.
The points model is used as a tool for allocating bookings for outdoor fields in the regular booking allocation for the so-called summer season, from the start of the football season until outdoor fields are closed when winter conditions begin. The points model is used to allocate regular bookings for fields on weekdays approximately from 16.00 to 22.00 and on weekends from 9.00 to 20.00. The bookings are allocated during October and announced separately to the clubs included in the points system. Bookings for other opening hours of the fields can be applied for in the Timmi booking system. Matches are played either during separately reserved match bookings or during clubs’ own training bookings.
Sand fields managed by the City of Turku are not listed as one field profile in the points system. Regular booking applications for them are processed in accordance with the general booking allocation principles. Competition grass fields are subject to a limit of 18 hours per week.
The highest league levels, Veikkausliiga and Men’s Ykkösliiga, are taken into account separately by agreeing on training and match bookings in advance with the clubs concerned. In the allocation of outdoor field bookings, the aim is to take into account not only competitive sports but also the importance of recreational activities, which play an essential role in encouraging residents of different ages to be physically active.
Calculating the maximum number of regular bookings for each club
Seasonal points calculation model:
A x B = C
D x E = club’s maximum number of regular bookings
The number of teams in the club determines the starting points (A). The points earned by teams are divided into three categories, Levels A–C, taking into account the age groups, competition levels and recreational levels of the teams playing in leagues.
Level A = 3 points per team
Men’s Kakkonen, Women’s Liiga, Boys’ U20 Finnish Championship league, Boys’ U17 Finnish Championship league, Women’s Ykkönen, Girls’ U18 Finnish Championship league, Boys’ U16 Liiga, Boys’/Girls’ U14–15 Liiga, Boys’/Girls’ U12–13 Liiga, Men’s Kolmonen, Women’s Kakkonen, Boys’ U20 Ykkönen, Girls’ U18 Ykkönen, Boys’ U17 Ykkönen
Level B = 2 points per team
Girls’ U18 Ykkönen, Boys’ U20 Kakkonen, Boys’ U17 Kakkonen, Men’s Nelonen, Girls’ U18 Kakkonen, Boys’ U17 Kolmonen, Girls’ U18 Kolmonen, Boys’/Girls’ U14–15 Ykkönen, Boys’/Girls’ U12–13 Ykkönen, Boys’/Girls’ U14–15 Kakkonen, Boys’/Girls’ U12–13 Kakkonen
Level C = 1 point per team
Boys’/Girls’ U10–11, Boys’/Girls’ U8–9, Men’s Vitonen, Women’s Kolmonen, Men’s Kutonen, KKI, Women’s Nelonen, Women’s 8v8, Boys’ U17/Girls’ U18 8v8, Boys’/Girls’ U14–15 8v8, Boys’/Girls’ U7 and younger
The total points are formed from the combined points for each field profile. There are four field profiles:
- Full-size artificial turf fields
- Artificial turf fields with recycled surface material
- Competition grass fields
- Recreational grass fields
Each club’s participant coefficient (B) is calculated as the ratio of the club’s playing passes, including recreational passes, to the total number of playing passes of all football clubs. The number of playing passes includes the playing and recreational passes granted by the Football Association of Finland as follows:
- Full-size artificial turf fields: playing passes of all league-level teams are taken into account
- Competition grass fields: clubs’ representative teams as well as U18 and U17 Finnish Championship-level teams are taken into account. For calculation purposes, 20 players form one team, because player numbers are not obtained directly from the association.
- Recreational grass fields: playing passes of league-level teams outside competition grass fields are taken into account
- Artificial turf fields with recycled surface material: recreational passes of league-level teams outside competition grass fields are taken into account
The club’s share of bookings in points (C) determines the club’s percentage share of bookings (D).
The total number of booking hours received by the club is formed by multiplying the total booking resource for football clubs (E) by the club’s booking share (D).
Regular bookings for the winter season at Impivaara Football Hall, weeks 39–16, on weekdays from 16.00 to 21.00 and on weekends from 8.00 to 20.00 are allocated using the points model. The bookings are allocated by July and announced separately to the clubs included in the points system. Bookings outside the points-based allocation can be applied for during the application period from 1 to 31 March.
The aim is to offer very limited winter-season, sport-specific prime-time indoor training conditions fairly and transparently to those for whom they are considered essential for their activities. For football clubs, the number of playing passes, not recreational passes, is taken into account for under-15s. For other sports, the number of participants under 20 is taken into account.
For the summer season, weeks 17–38, clubs apply for bookings in the Timmi booking system during the application period from 1 to 28 February.
Matches are generally played during clubs’ own training bookings.
Calculating the maximum number of regular bookings for each club
Seasonal points calculation model:
A x B = C
D x E = club’s maximum number of regular bookings
- The number of teams in the club determines the starting points (A).
- Each club’s participant coefficient (B) is calculated as the ratio of the club’s number of participants to the total number of participants of all clubs.
- When the points earned from teams (A) are multiplied by the participant coefficient (B), the club’s total points (C) are obtained.
- The club’s share of bookings in points (C) determines the club’s percentage share of bookings (D).
- The maximum total number of regular booking hours for the club is formed by multiplying the club’s percentage share (D) of the total points by the total number of regular bookings available (E).
Details of the regular booking allocation
Sports training in the football hall during the winter season: football, American football, lacrosse, rugby and Finnish baseball.
In the regular booking points system, each sport’s share of bookings is based on the number of participants and teams.
- Football: bookings for under-15s, total 92.7% of all bookings available
- Other sports: bookings for under-20s, total 7.3% of all bookings available
For football, playing passes are counted in the number of participants, not recreational passes. For other sports, the number of licences is counted.
Football league levels are classified as follows. In other sports, each under-20 team receives one point.
- Level A: 3 points per team, Boys’/Girls’ U14–15 Liiga
- Level B: 2 points per team, Boys’/Girls’ U14–15 Ykkönen

- The number of teams in the club determines the starting points (A).
- Each club’s participant coefficient (B) is calculated as the ratio of the club’s number of participants to the total number of participants of all clubs.
- When the points earned from teams (A) are multiplied by the participant coefficient (B), the club’s total points (C) are obtained.
- The club’s share of bookings in points (C) determines the club’s percentage share of bookings (D).
- The maximum total number of regular booking hours for the club is formed by multiplying the club’s percentage share (D) of the total points by the total number of regular bookings available (E).
