Background

SibboV has spent many seasons in the lower divisions of the Finnish football league. For much of the last decade the club has oscillated between the Nelonen (Fourth Division) and the Kolmonen (Third Division). They have enjoyed a “yo-yo” existence with promotions from the Nelonen in 2001, 2005 and 2009 and immediate relegations from the Kolmonen in 2002 and 2006. In the 2010 season SibboV are showing greater signs of stability as the club seek to maintain their position in the fourth tier.
