OLL is responsible for student sports lobbying and OSM competitions

The Finnish Student Sports Federation (OLL) is a national organisation composed of higher education student unions and student associations. We work to promote student wellbeing through sports and exercise. The activities of OLL include lobbying decision-makers, developing an exercise-rich daily student life together with higher education institutions, and training sports tutors. The Federation also coordinates the Finnish Student Championships for a number of different sports.
