History
When Hercules played the first matches in 1998, some of the players had never played in a football club previously. Some had a little background in their local youth teams and nothing else. The team's core was a group of students mostly from the Faculty of Technology at the University of Oulu. This first generation is almost gone, but a couple are still playing for the reserve team, Herkku-Papat, or manage the team business in the background. Younger ranks are now taking care of the first team efforts on the field.
Hercules a câștigat un singur trofeu major, Cupa Finlandei, în 1976. Clubul a participat, de asemenea, la mai multe competiții europene, inclusiv Cupa UEFA și Cupa Cupelor UEFA.
Stadionul de casă al lui Hercules este Stadionul Raatti, care are o capacitate de 6.600 de locuri. Culorile tradiționale ale clubului sunt albastrul și albul.
Printre jucătorii notabili care au jucat pentru Hercules se numără Petri Pasanen, Sami Hyypiä și Mikael Forssell.
