The day was split between a World Cup semi-final and Prime Minister Orpo's denial of lying about the Garden Helsinki arena project. Early headlines focused on US-Iran strikes and a church fire in Helsinki, but by afternoon the match between Spain and France dominated editorial priorities across outlets. Spain's 2-0 lead and Kylian MbappĂŠ's frustration were covered extensively. Simultaneously, Orpo broke his silence to STT, denying he had provided false employment figures for the arena, a story that had escalated the previous day. Other stories included a teacher suspected of child sexual abuse, a piling machine falling into Aurajoki, and a dramatic weather shift forecast. The semi-final remained the top editorial priority into the evening, overshadowing domestic political developments.
