Sport at the Best Spot event brought floorball fans together at Joki

The event spring for Turun Teknologiakiinteistöt began right at the start of the year with the traditional Sport at the Best Spot event, which has been held for ten years in collaboration with Turku-based sports clubs.

At the start of the event, Community Manager Carita Varjonen from Turun Teknologiakiinteistöt shared the latest news about the Joki Visitor Centre. The revamped Showroom immediately sparked interest, and those interested were able to visit the space at the end of the event. There were 130 participants on site.

The evening's match was a floorball derby between TPS and FBC Turku, which was enjoyed by representatives from both teams. First, we heard thoughts on the evening's match from TPS Salibandy's Sports Director Perttu Kytöhonka and forward Janne Hoikkanen. A local match always has some extra tension when facing a very familiar team.

As Kytöhonka and Hoikkanen rushed to prepare for the evening's game, the floor was given to FBC Turku's manager Antti Vääri and Executive Director Ville Lintunen. Representing the players was Arttu Salonen, for whom the current season is his first in the club's representative team.

After hearing from the teams, guests enjoyed the juicy hamburgers from Ravintola Mauno, which have already become a tradition at these events.

A colourful local derby was seen at the Kupittaa Sports Hall, as FBC Turku, entering the game as the challenger, scored three goals in the second period to take the lead. TPS's counter-attack resulted in four goals in less than a minute, and in the end, the match concluded with a score of 9–5 in favor of TPS.

Turun Teknologiakiinteistöt acted as the match host for the evening and awarded the best players of the teams.
