FC LeKi 90 · International Player Programme · 2026/27

This isn't a showcase camp. 90 days to prove your level.

Join a real European senior-football environment in Finland. Train consistently. Compete. Get evaluated. Earn your opportunity.

FC LeKi

FC LeKi 90 is run by our affiliated club FC LeKi. NNJF Sports Consulting helps players prepare, apply and settle in — and supports their development throughout.

01 What makes this different

A real senior-club environment, not a showcase camp.

FC LeKi is a Finnish senior football club competing in Miesten Kolmonen — not a pay-to-play showcase company. FC LeKi 90 places you inside that environment for 90 days: living, training and competing alongside a first-team squad with genuine sporting stakes.

What this is not

  • A guaranteed place in the starting XI
  • A promised professional contract
  • Guaranteed scouting or trial outcomes
  • An automatic route to a residence permit
  • A short, single-session tryout

What this is

  • Access to a real senior-club training environment
  • Structured, ongoing evaluation over 90 days
  • Possible registration for official matches, if eligible
  • A formal development report at the end of the programme
  • Playing time that is earned, never purchased

03 The club

Founded in Lempäälä. Rising through Finnish football.

FC LeKi was founded in 2024, continuing the legacy of LeKi Football's men's first team under new leadership. The club was promoted after the 2025 season and competes in Miesten Kolmonen in 2026, with the ambition of climbing the Finnish football pyramid.

This is the environment FC LeKi 90 places you in: real training standards, real match weeks and a squad with its own sporting objectives — not a demonstration environment built for visiting players.

04 Official-match eligibility

Clear conditions. No promises beyond them.

Players aged 18+ may be eligible for official FC LeKi matches, subject to registration rules and sporting selection. Nothing about a fee-paying programme changes this — the same standards apply to every player in the squad.

  1. A

    You must be aged 18 or older at the time of the fixture to be considered for official-match registration.

  2. B

    Registration is subject to Finnish football's competition and eligibility rules, which FC LeKi does not control.

  3. C

    Selection is sporting: it is based on your performance and fit within the squad during the programme, decided by the coaching staff.

  4. D

    Playing time is never purchased. It is earned through training and evaluation, the same as for any first-team player.

05 The 90-day journey

Four phases. One continuous evaluation.

FC LeKi 90 is not a single trial. Your development is tracked from the day you arrive to the day you leave.

  1. Weeks 1–2

    Arrival

    Onboarding, orientation to the club and Lempäälä, and an initial technical, tactical and physical baseline.

  2. Weeks 3–6

    Adaptation

    Full integration into the first-team training environment, with structured feedback after every session.

  3. Weeks 7–11

    Competition

    Friendlies and internal games, with the possibility of official-match registration for eligible players.

  4. Week 12

    Final assessment

    Evaluation is compiled into your Player Performance Passport, reviewed with the coaching staff.

07 Player Performance Passport

Your official record of the programme.

At the end of longer programmes, every player receives a formal development report — a structured account of where you stand and how you progressed, compiled by the coaching staff across the full duration of your stay.

Technical skills

Ball control, passing, first touch, finishing.

Tactical IQ

Decision-making, positioning, game understanding.

Physical performance

Speed, stamina, strength, recovery capacity.

Behavioural attributes

Discipline, focus, adaptability, competitiveness.

The Passport is a development record, not a contract, scouting guarantee or promise of onward opportunity. Progress is benchmarked against Finnish academy standards.

08 Programme durations & fees

Choose the duration that fits your development goals.

FC LeKi does not compete on being the cheapest programme available. The fee reflects sustained integration into a real senior-club environment and the possibility of official competition — not a fixed guarantee of either.

10 Parents & international players

Support before and after arrival.

International health insurance is mandatory for every participating player. Our staff provide practical onboarding support so your arrival in Lempäälä is straightforward, whether you're travelling as an adult player or as a parent supporting one.

  • Health insurance confirmed before arrival — required for all players
  • Arrival support and orientation to Lempäälä and the club
  • A named contact throughout your programme
  • Regular feedback so parents and players can track development
  • Clear communication on what is included — and what isn't — before you commit

11 Long-stay immigration support

Honest guidance, not a promise we can't keep.

For programmes extending beyond 90 days, FC LeKi can provide programme documentation and practical guidance relating to the Finnish immigration process. Where a player separately qualifies for an athlete residence permit through an eligible employment or player arrangement, FC LeKi can complete the employer-side documentation required of the club.

Residence permits are decided by the Finnish Immigration Service (Migri) and cannot be guaranteed. Enrolling in a fee-paying programme does not, by itself, qualify a player for a residence permit.

12 What is not guaranteed

Said plainly, in writing.

  • The programme fee buys access to the programme and its stated services — it does not buy a place in the starting XI.
  • Official-match participation depends on eligibility, registration and sporting selection, not on payment.
  • No professional contract, scout interest or transfer can be guaranteed by FC LeKi, NNJF Sports Consulting or their staff.
  • A residence permit is never an automatic benefit of enrolling — it is decided independently by Finnish authorities.
  • Players are evaluated over the full length of their programme, not judged on a single short trial.

13 Application & technical screening

Every place is reviewed before it is offered.

FC LeKi 90 is not sold as an ordinary purchase. Submit an application and our staff will review your profile before issuing an acceptance and payment schedule.

  1. Send your name, age and nationality
  2. Tell us your playing position and current club or level
  3. Include a football CV and a recent match or training video
  4. Confirm your preferred programme duration
  5. Give your intended arrival date
  6. We review your application and reply with next steps
