TamU-K is a football club based in Tampere, Finland. It was founded in 2009 as a supporters' trust for Tampere United, who then played in the Finnish top division Veikkausliiga. After the Football Association of Finland banned Tampere United from Finnish football at the eve of the 2011 season under still-unproven allegations of third party influence in the club, the supporters' trust took upon themselves to maintain the club's legacy in Finnish football by starting a team in the bottom division Kutonen for the 2012 season. In the next four seasons the club earned three promotions, and handed over its spot in Kolmonen, the fourth highest level of football in Finland, back to Tampere United. Currently the club does not have any activities.
