TJK Stadium

's match against Hakoah Vienna, the Austrian champions of the previous year After being founded in 1921, TJK actively began looking for a site to construct their own football ground. Initially, the club eyed a field in the Kalamaja subdistrict, but the Tallinn City Government saw an area located next to Narva maantee and near the Kadriorg beach more suitable for football. In 1923, the city rented the field to TJK, who began constructing the 120-meter long wooden grandstand in April 1925. The stadium was opened in August 1925. The former football stadium was reconstructed in 1951 as a smaller sized multi-purpose stadium and was named as ETKVL staadion. However, due to its improper dimensions, the new stadium was unable to hold any official athletics or football competition. == Estonia national team matches ==

TJK Stadium hosted the Estonia national football team once, when Estonia defeated Finland 2–1 on 10 August 1927. The newspapers evaluated Estonia's victory against their northern neighbours as convincing and deserved. Despite Finland's longer football culture and traditions, the assistant chairman of the Finnish FA Lauri Tanner admitted after the match that Estonia have surprisingly now surpassed Finland in football. == See also ==
