Background

The club was known as Iirot when it was established in 1930 and it has since taken a number of forms:

  • Iirot Rauma until 1968
  • Hakrit Rauma from 1969 to 1981 (merger with Lukko Rauma)
  • Pallo-Iirot Rauma since 1982[1]

In the 1940s, the club also played bandy for a few years.

At the beginning of the 1990s the leading football clubs in Rauma, namely Rauman Pallo and Pallo-Iirot, merged to form Rauman Pallo-Iirot. A few years later the name reverted to Pallo-Iirot. The other club based in the town is FC Rauma.

Since 1982 Pallo-Iirot has played 14 seasons in the Ykkönen (First Division), the second tier of Finnish football, in the periods 1984–85, 1991, 1993–2001 and 2004–05.[1]

They also have had six spells in the third tier, the Kakkonen (Second Division), covering 12 seasons from 1983, 1986–87, 1990, 1992, 2002–03 and 2006 to the present day.[1]
