This summer, Manchester United is heading to Helsinki for a pre-season clash against the “Hollywood” favorites, Wrexham.
This is a massive deal for local fans! It’s United’s first trip back to the Finnish capital since 1965, when they took on HJK in the European Cup. We’ve been waiting over 60 years for this comeback, and you won’t want to miss it.
Come join us for an unforgettable matchday and experience the absolute best that Helsinki has to offer!
Legends Weekend 2026 – United Returns
We’re hosting an incredible private dinner at Finland’s top steakhouse, The Grand, where we’ll be joined by a crew of legends and fans.
The night is all about great food and drinks (with plenty of vegetarian options available, too), exclusive interviews with the legends, and getting hyped for the big match the next day. We’ll even be raffling off a few surprises for those in attendance!
It’s going to be a world-class buildup to the game. Don’t miss out!
Location: The Grand
Sylvester Soisalo’s The Grand Bar & Grill has made history as the first Finnish spot to break into the “World’s 101 Best Steak Restaurants” list. Now in its second year on the prestigious ranking, the restaurant has climbed its way up to number 72.
The man behind the grill, top chef Sylvester Soisalo, honed his skills on the global stage, but he’s also a massive sports and football fanatic. If you look closely at the restaurant walls, you’ll spot a few subtle nods to his passion for the beautiful game.
Time: Friday 17.7. at 7pm
Right in the heart of downtown Helsinki, we’re setting up the ultimate home base for fans. Bierhaus Kamppi is getting a “United Returns” makeover, turning into a proper red zone from Monday, July 13th, all the way through to our post-match Legends Brunch on Sunday the 19th.
Expect a clubhouse packed with rare memorabilia, appearances from legends, quizzes, and plenty of food and drink. Most importantly, it’ll be the go-to spot to hang out with fellow fans flying in from every corner of the globe!
