PK-35 Vantaa (formerly Pallokerho-35 or PK-35) is a Finnish football club, based in Vantaa. It currently plays in the Finnish League (Veikkausliiga). As of the 2009 season the club has been based at the Myyrmäen jalkapallostadion, Myyrmäki, Vantaa.
PK-35 was founded in Vyborg in 1935. After the Finnish Winter War and Second World War, PK-35 was refounded in Helsinki in 1948. When PK-35 was coached by Pasi Rautiainen in the mid-1990s they were promoted to Finland's top division, the Veikkausliiga. After some economical troubles the first team was acquired by Hjallis Harkimo and renamed FC Jokerit. The PK-35 club, however, continued with the other teams in lower divisions using its original name. PK-35 was promoted to Kakkonen in 2001 and to Ykkönen in 2005.
Move to Vantaa
After season 2008 Pallokerho-35 decided to move its men's and women's first teams to the commuter town of Vantaa, where they will play at ISS Stadion in Myyrmäki.[1] Those teams will be run by a new association and compete with the name PK-35 Vantaa.[2] Pallokerho-35 and its other teams (juniors) will stay in Helsinki under PK-35 ry (main club).[3]

Women's team
The women's football section was founded in 1982.[4] The team won the Naisten Liiga for the first time in 2010 in their debut in the championship; they had been promoted after winning the second-tier Naisten Ykkönen in 2009. They thus made their UEFA Champions League debut in the 2011–12 season, where they were knocked out by Rayo Vallecano in the Round of 32.
PK-35 subsequently consolidated itself as the new leading Finnish team, winning both the Naisten Liiga and the national cup in 2011 and 2012.[5][6]
