Viimsi Jalgpalliklubi, commonly known as Viimsi JK or simply Viimsi, is an Estonian football club based in Viimsi Parish that competes in Esiliiga, the second-highest division in the Estonian football. The club's home ground is Viimsi Stadium.

History

Viimsi JK was founded in 2016, when HÜJK Emmaste, a club founded in 2000 that represented the Hiiumaa island, and Viimsi MRJK, a club which focused on youth football and was founded in 2007 by Martin Reim, merged. The new club inherited Emmaste's league spot and most senior players, while youth players, management and the stadium were provided by MRJK.

In 2021, Viimsi JK finished first in Esiliiga B and gained promotion to Esiliiga, the second-highest division in Estonian football. After finishing in second place in the 2023 season, the club faced Tartu Tammeka in the top flight promotion play-offs, but lost 1–6 on aggregate. Viimsi reached the 2023–24 Estonian Cup semi-finals, where they lost to the eventual winners FCI Levadia 0–1 after extra time. Viimsi finished the 2024 league season again in second place and faced Tallinna Kalev in the promotion play-offs, narrowly losing 1–2 on aggregate after extra time. For the third consecutive season, Viimsi finished the season as runners-up, this time losing the promotion play-offs to Kuressaare.

Stadium

The club's home ground is the 1,006-capacity Viimsi Stadium. Opened in 2015, the multi-purpose stadium has an artificial turf surface and is located in the Haabneeme borough of Viimsi Parish.

The club uses the Viimsi indoor football and athletics hall (Viimsi jalgpalli- ja kergejõustikuhall) as their training centre during the snowy winter period. The facility was opened in 2025 and cost €6.4 million.
