Belgium's Sint Traidon announced on its official website on the 22nd (Korea time) 'We announced the 4th recruitment of shareholders. 'Japanet', one of the leading companies in the Japanese economy, has joined as a major partner, it officially announced.
Sint Trawidon is a club acquired by the Japanese company 'DMM.com ' in 2017. Since then, Sint Trawidan has recruited a large number of Japanese J-League players to serve as a bridge to confirm that these players are competitive in Europe. Japanese national superstar Takehiro Tomiyasu, Wataru Endo, and Daichi Kamada went through Sintrawidon.
However, it is not a well-known club for Korean fans. In 2019, Sint Trawidon recruited Lee Seung-woo, who was showing promise in Italy's Serie A Helles Verona, but effectively left the player unattended. In the first season, Lee Seung-woo was completely excluded from the manager's plan and played only four league games. Although it improved a little in the 2020-2021 season, there were only 13 appearances, and Lee Seung-woo had a difficult time before joining Suwon FC in 2022.

CEO Takayuki "Partnership makes it possible to realize Sintrauden's growth ambitions and take the next step. Over the next few seasons we will invest in sports capabilities and training facilities. Through this, we want to raise the league's ranking step by step,' he said, promising the club's development.

Regarding the contract, the Japanese media Football Channel said 'SintTrawidan has been in management by DMM.com since 2017 and has been known as a gateway for Japanese players to advance to Europe. Until now, many Japanese players, including Takehiro, Wataru, and Daichi, have belonged to Sintrawidan. Jafanet Holdings, Inc. has been actively investing in the sports business, and this capital and business partnership is drawing attention as a new development linking Europe to Japan'
