Matias Petteri Ojala (born 28 February 1995) is a Finnish footballer, who most recently played as a midfielder for AC Oulu in Finnish Veikkausliiga.
Early career
Born and raised in Oulu, Ojala started his footballing career with local club AC Oulu, making his debut on Finnish top-flight on 12 August 2010, only at the age of 15. By doing this, he became the youngest player in history to make an appearance in Veikkausliiga.
He was however unable to make more appearances during the season as AC Oulu finished 11th. Because of their financial situation, the club however dropped down a level as they were denied a league license by the Finnish FA
This proved to be a good career point for Ojala, as he went on making 58 appearances and scoring 9 goals for Oulu during the next three seasons combined in the Finnish second division. During his final season with Oulu, he replaced the legendary Mika Nurmela as the team captain, only at the age of 18.
Club career
On 27 August 2013, it was announced that Ojala had joined German Bundesliga side HSV on loan until summer 2014, with an option to buy. He was promoted to train with the first team for the first time in early October.
On 7 November 2019, FC Inter Turku confirmed the signing of Ojala for the 2020 season on a deal until the end of 2021.
On 22 December 2023, Ojala signed with fellow Veikkausliiga side IFK Mariehamn on a one-year deal.
On 3 November 2024, Ojala returned to his hometown Oulu and signed a two-year deal with his former club AC Oulu.
