History

File:PPT - Karhut 1960s.jpg

FC Jazz was established in 1934 as Porin Pallo-Toverit (PPT for short) by 18 young men who had previously played football in the local sports club Pyrintö. The founders had strong labour movement background and PPT immediately joined the Finnish Workers' Sports Federation (TUL). PPT had also a section for bandy and ice hockey.PPT 1934–1984 50th Anniversary book.

PPT played its first years in TUL regional series and after the second world war in TUL national divisions. The club made its debut in Finnish Football Association's national divisions in 1948 Suomensarja which was the second tier of Finnish football. After six more seasons in TUL series PPT joined the FA's divisions permanently in 1955 playing third or fourth tiers up to the 1980s. In 1982 PPT was promoted to 1. division and year later to the premier division Mestaruussarja.

In 1991 PPT changed its name for FC Jazz. The name was inspired by Pori Jazz festival, which is one of the most popular jazz festivals in Europe. FC Jazz won two Finnish championship titles in 1993 and 1996. The club was relegated to second tier in 2004, but the first team was dissolved 2005 as a result of financial problems.

FC Jazz youth section had been separated from the league organisation since 2002, and was known as FC Jazz-juniorit (FC Jazz-j). In 2006, the club started competing with the league license of its youth organisation, and were placed in the sixth-tier Vitonen, administrated by the Finnish Football Association Satakunta. Two years later, FC Jazz-j was promoted to third tier Kakkonen, which is the lowest national level in Finnish football. In 2010, FC Jazz-juniorit were allowed to start using the name FC Jazz. In 2013, FC Jazz was promoted to second-tier Ykkönen after beating Ekenäs IF 4–2 on aggregate in the promotion playoffs.{{cite web|url= http://yle.fi/uutiset/europa_league_football_for_vaasa_in_2014/6891409 |title= Europa League football for Vaasa in 2014 |publisher= Yle News |date= 20 October 2013 | access-date= 20 October 2013}} FC Jazz was relegated back to the Kakkonen for the 2017 season, but got promoted back to Ykkönen, the new nation-wide third-tier, for the 2024 season. In 2024, the new second tier Ykkösliiga was founded and Ykkönen had been demoted one level in the Finnish football league system.{{Cite web |date=2023-10-07 |title=Jalkapallo {{!}} FC Jazz nousee Ykköseen, vaikka sarjaporras pysyy jatkossakin samana: stadionilla raikasi lauantaina laulu: "Tämä oli hyvä tulos meille" |url=https://www.satakunnankansa.fi/urheilu/art-2000009907750.html |access-date=2024-04-10 |website=Satakunnan Kansa |language=fi}} In the inaugural season of the competition, Jazz finished 5th in Ykkönen.
