Finland - International A Matches

All international A matches ever played by the Finnish national team are listed below. The following matches are listed separately at the end of the document and excluded from the head-to-head statistics: The reason why these matches are listed separately, although officially recognized by the Finnish FA, is that either Finland or the opponent (or both of them) fielded a team which was far from the best possible. In this aspect, some of the matches played in the recent Mediterranean and Asian winter tournaments are also debatable, but because there was no rule preventing any player from being selected, all those matches are included in the main section.

Full Internationals Later Declassified

These matches were originally considered as full internationals by the Finnish FA (but never by the opponent). They were later declassified, the first one because the Dutch side was a regional team from The Hague district, the latter one because Brazil fielded their youth team.


19.06.1934  Helsinki              Netherlands           2-2
25.02.2000  Bangkok               Brazil                3-0
