This year, the General Assembly of the Finnish Student Sports Federation (OLL) will be held remotely for the first time. At the General Assembly on 18–19 November, the higher education students will outline OLL’s future activities and elect the President and Board for the Federation for next year.

The OLL General Assembly starts on Wednesday 18 November at 10 a.m. We will discuss the Budget and the Plan of Work for 2021 and update OLL’s Strategy for 2021–2023 during the two-day General Assembly. We will also award the OLL Trophy and the Flame of the Year prize to operators who have promoted student sports this year.

OLL alumnus Hilkka Pöyhönen, Head of Faculty Administration at Unisport, will hold the keynote speech at the General Assembly. The keynote speech will be held on the first day of the General Assembly immediately after the opening of the meeting.

The media can watch a live stream of the OLL General Assembly online. The links to the streams will be published on the General Assembly website at the start of the first and second days of the meeting.
