JS Hercules is an association football club based in Oulu, Finland. Founded in 1998, the team started at the lowest level of the Finnish league system and was playing in the Third Division until promoted to Finnish Second Division, Kakkonen, for the first time for season 2016.
History
When Hercules played the first matches in 1998, some of the players had never played in a football club previously. Some had a little background in their local youth teams and nothing else. The team's core was a group of students mostly from the Faculty of Technology at the University of Oulu. This first generation is almost gone, but a couple are still playing for the reserve team, Herkku-Papat, or manage the team business in the background. Younger ranks are now taking care of the first team efforts on the field.
El club toma su nombre de Hércules, el héroe de la mitología griega conocido por su fuerza y su valentía. El escudo del club muestra la cabeza de Hércules con una corona de laurel, y los colores del equipo son el azul y el blanco.
El JS Hercules ha ganado la Kakkonen en dos ocasiones, en 1996 y en 2005. También ha ganado la Copa de Finlandia en una ocasión, en 1977.
El club ha tenido varios jugadores notables a lo largo de su historia, entre ellos el internacional finlandés Jari Litmanen, que jugó en el JS Hercules en la temporada 1986.
El JS Hercules es un club con una larga y rica historia, y es uno de los clubes de fútbol más populares de Finlandia.
