Kick off the Tartu Academic Year at a JK Tammeka Premium liiga match

Hi, international student in Tartu!

We are Tartu JK Tammeka, the top football club in the town. We’ve never been nicknamed the Academics or the Students. But in our teams, staff, and community, we’ve had both. So you’ll fit it just fine!

Our men’s team represents Tartu in the Estonian top division, A. Le Coq Premium liiga.

This Sunday, August 31, we invite you to a very special home match: 🔷 Tartu JK Tammeka vs Harju JK Laagri. 🔷

WHAT'S UP

👉 First, we have exclusive activities for international students: stadium tours, games and a meeting with the head coach that we, as football aficionados, would love to experience ourselves when moving to a new place.

👉 Secondly, we, like our opposition, need to win this match; there’s a chance one of us could be relegated at the end of the season. So expect tactical masterminding, tensions, drama, cards, goals, and more. ⚔️

TIMETABLE
