At MetroSport, students have the chance to try out a wide variety of sports and meet sports and wellness organizations from both the Helsinki metropolitan area and across Finland.
MetroSport is aimed at all students in the capital region and Metropolia staff. The event is open to the public and free of charge. The core idea of the event is to inspire visitors to try new sports and physical activities with a low threshold, and perhaps get people to take up a new hobby or sport.
