About the player
Rasmus Karjalainen is back at AC Oulu after rejoining the club in January 2026. He first left Oulu, moving through OLS and FC Kerho 07 before a short spell at AC Oulu itself in 2016, then on to PS Kemi Kings, where a place in the Veikkausliiga Team of the Year in 2017 marked his emergence. The move to KuPS a year later brought significant success: Veikkausliiga titles in 2018 and 2019.
Fortuna Sittard signed him in 2019, and although a loan season at Örebro SK followed, it was the platform for his senior Finland debut, against Romania in June 2018. He went on to earn 13 caps and his only international goal came against Estonia in January 2019. He was named in Finland's squad for the Euro 2020 qualifying campaign, though a neck injury kept him out of the finals themselves.
A spell at SJK followed before he came back to Oulu again in January 2026, this time as captain.
