List of foreign Veikkausliiga players

This is a list of all foreign players in the Finnish Veikkausliiga, which commenced play in 1990. The following players must meet both of the following two criteria:

  1. Have played at least one Veikkausliiga regular season game. Players who were signed by Veikkausliiga clubs, but only played in playoff stages, lower league, cup and/or European games, or did not play in any competitive games at all, are not included.
  2. Are considered foreign, i.e., outside Finland determined by the following:
A player is considered foreign if his allegiance is not to play for the national team of Finland.

More specifically,

  • If a player has been capped at international level, the national team is used; if he has been capped by more than one country, the highest level (or the most recent) team is used. These include Finnish players with dual citizenship.
  • If a player has not been capped at international level, his country of birth is used, except those who were born abroad from Finnish parents or moved to Finland at a young age, and those who clearly indicated to have switched his nationality to another nation.

Clubs listed are those for which the player has played at least one Veikkausliiga game – and seasons are those in which the player has played at least one Veikkausliiga game. Note that a Veikkausliiga season is same as the calendar year.

In bold: players still active in Veikkausliiga and their respective teams in current season.
