Hyvinkään Palloseura (abbreviated HyPS) is a football club from Hyvinkää, Finland. The club was formed in 1947 and its main home ground is at the Hyvinkään Urheilupuisto.
History
HyPS played four seasons in the Suomensarja (Finland League), the second tier of Finnish football in 1949, 1951, 1954 and 1965. They also have had three spells covering 19 seasons in the third tier, the Kakkonen (Second Division), in 1975–77, 1987 and 1995–2009. It was a huge disappointment when they were relegated back to the Kolmonen (Third Division) at the end of the 2009 campaign after 15 consecutive years in the Kakkonen.
HyPS have had a number of outstanding players but none surpass Pertti Jantunen who played a record 327 games for the club scoring 174 goals. One of the highlights of Hyvinkää football in the 1970s and 1980s were the derby matches with local rivals, Palloiluseura Apollo, who have sadly dropped to the Vitonen in recent years.
Sukcesy klubu obejmują zdobycie Pucharu Finlandii w 1963 roku oraz mistrzostwo Suomi Serie w 1960, 1964 i 1969 roku. HYPS Hyvinkää grał także w europejskich rozgrywkach, w tym w Pucharze Zdobywców Pucharów w 1964 i 1970 roku.
Stadionem domowym klubu jest Hyvinkään Urheilupuisto, który może pomieścić 4000 widzów.
