Jämsänkosken Ilves (abbreviated JIlves) is a sports club from Jämsänkoski, Finland. The club is active in cross-country skiing, swimming, athletics and football, where it has a long tradition. The club's home ground is at the Jämsänkosken Pallokenttä. Other venues used by the club include the Oinaalan urheilukenttä (Oinaala sports field), Paunu and Jaatilan kenttä at Jämsä.

Background

The club was formed on 2 May 1930 when 30 sports minded people met at the club of the local paper mill, Yhtyneet Paperitehtaat Oy, to revive Jämsänkosken VPK's gymnastics and sports clubs. The year 2010 is the eightieth anniversary of the club and a number of celebratory events are being held.

JIlves played 8 seasons in the second tier of Finnish football from 1963 until 1970. They also have had 5 spells in the third tier (the Second Division) in 1974–76, 1978, 1981–83, 1985, 1990.[1]

In the late 1980s the club found itself in the Fourth Division but a merger with Jämsän Pallo enabled the club to return to the Second Division for a short-lived spell in 1990. Over the last decade JIlves has played in the Kolmonen (Third Division)
