This article provides details of international football games played by the Finland national football team from 1911 to 1939.[1][2]
They competed in the 1912 Summer Olympics in Stockholm, where they pulled off two major upsets by beating Italy and the Russian Empire, but losing the bronze medal match against the Netherlands.[3] Finland had to wait for over two decades to participate in another major tournament, the 1936 Summer Olympics, where they got knocked-out in the first round by Peru.[4] In the following year, in 1937, Finland participated in the FIFA World Cup qualification for the first time, losing all three matches to Sweden, Germany, and Estonia.[1] Notable figures during these years were Verner Eklöf, Aulis Koponen, and Gunnar Åström, who all scored at least 16 goals between 1919 and 1937.
