Tampereen-Viipurin Ilves-Kissat is a Finnish football club from Tampere. As of 2017 are playing in the Kolmonen league.[1]
They play their home matches in the Tammelan Stadion, which was opened in 1931.[2]
History
The name of the club was changed to Viipurin Ilves (‘Lynx of Viipuri’) in 1934, and as a result of the Winter War, the club was relocated in Tampere in 1940. However, there already was a club called Ilves in Tampere, so club reverted to the name Ilves-Kissat in December 1944.[3]
IKissat Tampere were promoted to the Mestaruussarja, the top flight of Finnish football, for the 1949 season, and we're champions in 1950. They were relegated in 1951.[4]
In 1974 Ilves-Kissat and Tampellan Palloilijat merged with Ilves Tampere, which now became fully involved in football. Ilves-Kissat discontinued its activities in the sport, but on lower tiers of Finnish football it is, in a way, represented by its sister club, Kissalan Pojat (namesake of the Katzenjammer Kids).[3]
In the autumn of 2004, with the club's football team in 6th Division the management of the club decided to make a push for higher tiers, and in the autumn of 2010 the club achieved promotion to Kakkonen, i.e. 3rd tier. For the 2011 season, Ilves-Kissat entered an arrangement whereby they became the farm team for FC Haka of Valkeakoski, but the season ended with relegation to 3rd Division.[5]
After the 2023 season, reports about the club's financial troubles have emerged.[6]
