Our Mission

The Mission of the Finnish Cricket Association is to make cricket a respected, successful, accessible, and fun sport in Finland.

Our Purpose

The purpose of Cricket Finland (CF) is to promote cricket as a sport to as many Finns and foreign residents in Finland as possible, at all levels of sport, and to act as a common link for its members clubs. In addition, the Association promotes and monitors the development of the sport in our country and represents Finland in the sport’s international bodies.

The aim of the Association is to create opportunities for experiencing the joy of exercise brought by the sport, to as many different parts of the population as possible, and thereby contribute to the well-being and health of the enthusiasts, in addition to maintaining and improving their mobility.
