Swamp football world championships

Swamp football in action

Cannot play media. Sorry, this media is not available in your territory.

Around 5,000 football fans got together on a muddy pitch in a remote town in Finland to compete in the swamp soccer world championships.

Some 325 teams tackled the thick mud on 22 pitches in the two-day tournament.

The women's final was won by SST Coca Cola while Team Telinekataja from Helsinki ended the winning streak of Russian team Sputnik, after they beat them 1-0 to take the men's trophy.
