History

Vaasan Kiisto was founded in September 1904 in Vaasa Finnish Gymnasiums gym hall, after members of Vaasa Workers Association saw a need for separate Gymnastics and Sports Club. Kiisto started to play football in 1908. In Finnish civil war some members of the club participated as a red guards and as a result club was dismissed from Finnish Gymnastics and Sports Federation (SVUL) and as a result joined newly formed Finnish Workers' Sports Federation. In 1931 Club was dismissed by court as a communist organisation, after playing a friendly match against football team from Soviet Union. Club was re-founded in 1949 and football was taken again to club repertoire in 1954. In 1999 when football had become considerably big part of club activity, FC Kiisto was separated from Vaasan Kiisto. [1]
