About the player
Riikonen came up through the Kouvola football pipeline, moving between the MYPA and Ilves academies before making his senior debut for MYPA in 2018 with three league appearances. At Ilves he split his time between the reserve side, where he was a regular over three seasons, and the first team, for which he made six senior league appearances between 2018 and 2021.
A loan to FC Copenhagen's under-19 side in the 2020–2021 season took him briefly outside Finland before he returned for a free transfer to FC Inter Turku in November 2021. There he made 12 league appearances across the 2022 and 2023 campaigns. He moved on again without a fee, signing a two-year contract with IFK Mariehamn in November 2023 ahead of the 2024 season.
Riikonen's underage career for Finland included two caps for the under-17 side in 2019 and one for the under-20 team in 2021. He is also credited as a Finnish Under-19 champion, though the specifics of that title are not widely detailed.
Now established at IFK Mariehamn, he stands 186 cm tall.
