During his career, he played for several clubs, achieving his greatest success with Ajax Amsterdam, where he won the Champions League in 1995. That very jersey is on display in the exhibition!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Finland, Litmanen earned the nickname \u201cThe King,\u201d and he also won the hearts of the Dutch, especially through his humility &#8211; and, of course, his goals. The exhibition also features a strong focus on the fan culture surrounding Litmanen, with the help of collector Taneli Okkonen, who specializes in \u201cLitti.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Jari Litmanen Exhibition is on display at Sports Museum on 23.5.-26.10.2025.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"519\" src=\"https:\/\/tahto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Litti_verkkosivut_768x519-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15516\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tahto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Litti_verkkosivut_768x519-1.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tahto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Litti_verkkosivut_768x519-1-300x203.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tahto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Litti_verkkosivut_768x519-1-560x378.jpg 560w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 575px) 100vw, (max-width: 767px) 510px, (max-width: 991px) 290px, (max-width: 1199px) 530px, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n                <\/main>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":15516,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"11102,11064,12213,12214,12281,11103","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","_improvement_type_select":"improve_an_existing","_thumb_yes_seoaic":false,"_frame_yes_seoaic":false,"seoaic_generate_description":"","seoaic_improve_instructions_prompt":"","seoaic_rollback_content_improvement":"","seoaic_idea_thumbnail_generator":"","thumbnail_generated":false,"thumbnail_generate_prompt":"","seoaic_article_description":"","seoaic_article_subtitles":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[230,79],"tags":[245,311,313],"class_list":["post-15631","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-events","category-news","tag-exhibition","tag-football","tag-jari-litmanen-2"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Coming soon!
