Vuosaari sports ground (Finnish: Vuosaaren urheilukenttä, also known as Heteniitty) is a football and athletics ground in Vuosaari, Helsinki. It is the home ground of the East Helsinki football club FC Viikingit, who play in the Finnish first division (Ykkönen). In addition, the athletics field is used by Viipurin Urheilijat. The ground currently has a capacity of approximately 1,500 spectators, but it was expanded to 3,500 seats in the 2007 season, when Viikingit played in the Finnish premier division.
The ground is also called Heteniitty due to its location along Heteniityntie. Nicknames include Hettari and Monttu ('the Pit'), the latter derived from the shape of the ground and the fact that it was built in the location of a former borrow pit.
