Lee Jae-sung (33, Mainz), a former colleague of Jang-Paul Böttius (31, Darmstadt), who was diagnosed with testicular cancer, is about to naturalize in Suriname.

Dutch media outlet Wöttbal International said on the 6th (local time) that the 'Surinam Football Association is in the process of naturalizing players with Dutch passports' and that the association said on its official channel that work is underway to get Wöttius to join the Surinam national soccer team'

Böttius, a Dutch - born winger and attacking midfielder, made his debut for the Netherlands A team in 2014 after playing for the Netherlands U-17, U-19 and U-21 teams. He was included in the preliminary list for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, but was eliminated from the final list by then-coach Luis van Gaal.




Böttius, a cousin of former Dutch national team member Urbi Emmanuelson, is from Suriname, so he is said to have no major problems in the procedure.

Suriname, a Dutch colony in the 19th century, gained independence in 1975. Since then, we have a close relationship. Some of the Dutch representatives of the era, including Ruud Gulit, Clarence Sheldorf, Partick Clawibert, Edgar Daviz and Virgil van Dijk (Liverpool), are from Suriname.

Böttius once had a reputation as a top winger. He is a former Feyenoord youth member of Hwang In-beom's current team, and played for the Feyenoord Pro Team from 2012 to 2015. Böttius, who moved to Basel, Switzerland in 2015, returned to Feyenoord in 2017 and played for a season before moving to Mainz (Germany) in 2018 and forming his first relationship with German football.

Böttius was a key player for Mainz for four years from 2018 to 2022. I worked with Lee Jae-sung, who joined Mainz in 2021.

Faced a major ordeal shortly after moving to Herta Berlin in 2022. A tumor was found in the testicle. Since then, the cancer has suffered from lymph node metastasis once, but with its unique bright energy, it has won the battle against cancer that lasted for a year and a half. He was declared completely cured in September last year.

Böttius joined Darmstadt, the second wife of Germany, in January and returned to the ground with emotion. He played eight games in the second division of the Bundesliga this season, gradually raising his sense of play.




Currently, Yang Min-hyuk's teammate, fullback Kenneth Pal (Queens Park Rangers), is playing for Suriname.

Suriname reached the gold cup finals, an international tournament in North and Central America. The competition runs from June 14 to July 6. Suriname will also participate in the second round of the 2016 North-China World Cup qualifying round next summer.
