In English

TUL is a Finnish sport federation focused on encouraging Finnish citizens to adopt a healthy and active lifestyle. One of our main goals is to ensure that everyone has an equal opportunity to lead an active life and have access to various sport activities, regardless of age, gender, sexual orientation, wealth or ethnic background. TUL is one of the largest non-governmental organizations in Finland, with about 800 sport club members.

Our key focus area is to promote grassroots sports activities for all ages, from early childhood to retirement. We accomplish this by supporting the work of various national and regional sports clubs and by encouraging civic activities that support our goals.
