The Insurance Court dismissed the claim for work-related injury benefits regarding a ankle injury sustained during a Nordic prison football match. The plaintiff argued the match was work-related, while the defendant contended it was a private social activity. The court ruled that participation in such a match, even with employer-provided travel and leave, does not constitute work-related activity under Finnish law.
