The Finnish Olympic Committee (Finnish: Suomen Olympiakomitea ry; Swedish: Finlands Olympiska Kommitté rf) is the national Olympic committee in Finland for the Olympic Games movement. It is a non-profit organisation that selects teams, and raises funds to send Finnish competitors to Olympic events organised by the International Olympic Committee (IOC).[1]

The schools, colleges, universities and other establishments in the programme are organised into local clusters. For example:

  • The Sotkamo High School works in collaboration with several other schools, colleges and universities as part of the Vuokatti-Ruka Sports Academy.[2]
  • The Joensuu Sports Academy is a co-operation network of schools, colleges and universities.[3]
  • The Urhea Metropolitan Sports Academy is based in Helsinki and includes the National Olympic Training Centre.[4]

Others include the Kuortane High School and Sports Academy and the Pajulahti Sports Institute.
