Raikkonen will race in world rally
Ferrari's Raikkonen has appeared in three non-championship rallies this season and will be behind the wheel of a Fiat Abarth Grande Punto.
His co-driver, Kaj Lindstrom, said: "The roads used for this rally are so fast but he's very talented."
The rally is staged three weeks before the European Grand Prix in Valencia.
Raikkonen, who won the F1 title in 2007, will be competing against the likes of championship favourites Sebastien Loeb and Mikko Hirvonen.
Event spokesman Simon Long said: "It's superb news for the championship and hugely exciting that he'll be competing at Rally Finland."
