Veikkausliiga ((スウェーデン語:Tipsligan)) is the premier division of Finnish football, comprising the top 12 clubs of the country. Its main sponsor is the Finnish national betting agency Veikkaus, hence the league's name. Veikkausliiga was founded in 1990; before that the top division was called ''Mestaruussarja'' (championship series) since 1930 which was an amateur or semi-professional league. Between 1908 and 1930 the championship was decided in a cup competition. Ykkönen (division one) has been the second highest level of Finnish football since 1973. As with certain other cold-climate European countries, league matches in Finland are played in summer, with a schedule usually from April to October. The format and number of teams has changed frequently, and in the 2013 season there were 12 teams, with each team playing the others three times, for 33 rounds during the season. An uneven number of matches meant that the best six teams from the 2012 season had 17 home matches and the other six teams had 16 home matches. At the end of the season, the lowest-placed team is relegated to Ykkönen, whose winner is promoted to Veikkausliiga. In 2010 the average annual salary with fringe benefits for a league player was 24,400 euro.〔(Palkkatutkimus 2010 )〕 Veikkausliiga is a founding member of the European Professional Football Leagues association.〔http://www.epfl-europeanleagues.com/profile_veikkausliiga.htm〕 ==Clubs== The Veikkausliiga clubs in the 2015 season are presented in the table below.
