Leino

The well-lit windowed meeting facility Leino is an excellent choice for small groups and teamwork.

Leino can be combined with the event facility Puikkari.

Eino Akusti Leino was a wrestler and Olympic winner born in Kuopio. He is one of the most successful Olympic wrestlers in history.

The only time he participated in the Finnish Championship Game was in 1936 when got silver. Before his years in America he was the goalkeeper in Kuopio's Riento football team in 1912-1914.
