NiceFutis vs. HJK at Pori Stadium in 2010.

NiceFutis is a women's association football club from Pori, Finland. It was established in 1989 as the women's section of PPT Pori was disbanded. NiceFutis has played in the Finnish women's premier division Naisten Liiga since 2008.

The club's name includes a wordplay. The pronunciation of the English word "nice" sounds in Finnish like "nais", the root of the Finnish word for woman ("nainen") when used in compound words. So the name of the club can be understood as "ladies' soccer" or "nice soccer".
