The Finnish Student Sports Federation (OLL) has awarded the OLL Trophy to Laurea University of Applied Sciences and its student union Laureamko. The Flame of the Year award went to Aleks Vaak, a student at Metropolia University of Applied Sciences.

The OLL Trophy was received by Laureamko board member Jonas Sarkameri at the General Assembly dinner.

The OLL Trophy is awarded annually to an OLL member community that has shown outstanding achievement in promoting student sports. The 2025 OLL Cup was granted to Laurea University of Applied Sciences and its student union Laureamko. Laurea is the first higher education community where both the university and the student union are full members of OLL.

OLL selected Metropolia student Aleks Vaak as the Flame of the Year. He runs MetropoliaMMA, a martial arts club he founded himself. The award is given annually to an active sports promoter who has selflessly and passionately dedicated their time to advancing student sports.

The awards were presented at OLL’s General Assembly in Jyväskylä on 5 November 2025. The federation’s board decides on the recipients.
