Pääsukaart

Pääsukaart is a Finnish term that translates to "main card" or "primary card." It is most commonly used in the context of sports events, particularly combat sports like boxing and mixed martial arts (MMA). The pääsukaart refers to the main sequence of professional bouts that form the core of the event's schedule, typically featuring the most highly anticipated or skilled fighters.

These fights are generally positioned at the end of the event, following preliminary matches or "undercard" bouts. The pääsukaart often culminates in a championship fight or a bout involving a prominent, well-known athlete. The selection of fighters for the pääsukaart is a strategic decision by promoters, aiming to draw the largest audience and generate significant interest. The term emphasizes the importance and centrality of these particular matchups within the overall event. In broader terms, pääsukaart can also refer to the main attraction or highlight of any event, not strictly limited to sports.
