The association was founded on 9 January 1924 and is the oldest District Football Association in Finland. SPL Vaasa was established 6 days later and SPL Turku on 5 May 1924.

The District's mission statement seeks to enable all to enjoy soccer at their respective ability levels and in a variety of roles.
