Sports Cover insures club sports

Sports Cover is sports insurance for one sporting season, which you can buy at the same time as your buy the sports licence. The insurance covers injuries and resulting examination and treatment expenses caused by sudden events when doing your sport. Sports cover is valid for one competitive or sporting season at a time, meaning that you can easily assess the need for the insurance for each season.  

Sudden events covered by Sports Cover include sprains, strains and fractures. Sports Cover also indemnifies injuries not caused by an external factor, but if you are injured as a result of exertion, for example.

You can buy Sports Cover at the same time as you buy your licence either on the Suomisport website or your sport federation’s website. Select your sport and buy insurance!

When is Sports Cover valid and what does it compensate?

Sports Cover is valid in your sports matches, competitions and training, and when travelling directly to and from them. The insurance is also valid on sports camps related to the sport. It has been agreed with many sports federations that for children under 12, Sports Cover is also valid for sports under other sports federations.

Sports Cover pays medical expenses indemnity for up to 15,000 euros, handicap benefit for up to 30,000 euros and death benefit for up to 8,500 euros per loss. The insurance covers expenses incurred within three years of the occurrence of the injury. Dental injuries are an exception in that there is no maximum indemnity period.

You can insure your sport also by adding additional athletes’ covers to your health insurance. These will be valid continuously in the sports you choose.

I buy Sports Cover always before the beginning of the floorball season. It’s a fast sport with things happening quickly, and injuries do happen. Sports Cover enables me to make sure that I can get quick treatment if I need it, and be back playing as soon as possible.
