Or you can send email to judo (at) student.oulu.fi at any point of the season and request the link. Even better if you could warn your senpai or sensei at the practice that you are going to send email, so that someone from the board will go and read it as soon as possible and you don't have to wait too long by mistake! Then the invitation link is sent to you by the admin and you'll recieve it as an email. The email includes also instructions in English regarding the link functions. After you have activated the link and sent the join request in Suomisport and paid the necessary fees, the club's admistrator will approve the request in Suomisport.
