At MetroSport, students have the chance to try out a wide variety of sports and meet sports and wellness organizations from both the Helsinki metropolitan area and across Finland. We are now looking for sports partners to help us make this experience possible.
MetroSport is open and free of charge to all students in the Helsinki metropolitan area. The core idea is to inspire visitors to try new sports and physical activities in a low-threshold environment, and perhaps even spark a new hobby. The event is, of course, substance-free and accessible, with a strong focus on promoting both physical and mental well-being.
Our goal is to offer the broadest possible platform for sports tryouts – and that’s why all ideas and activities are welcome.

Warriors Rugby Club Helsinki. Rugby is a fun and versatile team sport for all shapes and sizes. The goal of the game is to ground the ball behind your opponent’s goal line, called the “try line”. Rugby involves many skills such as tackling, kicking, running, and several elements unique to rugby, like the line out and scrum. In Finland, you can play rugby in teams of 15 or 7, and you can even play without contact, a variation known as “touch rugby”. Rugby is also a very social sport – the third half is an important part of a gameday, where you meet in the pub with your teammates and opponents after the game.
