The Finnish national eSports team known as Huuhkajat is preparing for the FIFA Series tournament scheduled for late March in New Zealand. Head coach Jacob Friis announced the team roster on Wednesday, which includes both experienced players and newcomers. This tournament marks an important opportunity for Finland as they face not only the host nation New Zealand but also teams from Cape Verde and Chile.

The competition will see each team playing two matches, with Finland's opponents confirmed to be New Zealand and Cape Verde. The match against New Zealand is scheduled for March 27, followed by a game against Cape Verde on March 30. Notably, this will be the first encounter for Finland against both of these teams, highlighting the significance of these games in their competitive journey.

The team includes seasoned players such as Joel Pohjanpalo and Lukas Hradecky, alongside first-time participants Samuli Miettinen and Tony Miettinen, indicating a blend of experience and fresh talent. This approach may bolster Finland's chances in the tournament, making it an event to watch for eSports enthusiasts and supporters of the national team.
