In fact, a Japanese club was created in the first division of Belgium.

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.

Regardless of Lee Seung-woo, Japanese players continued to advance to Sintrauden. Japanese companies were also more interested in Sint-Trawidon's active recruitment of Japanese players. More funds from Japanese companies have been invested in Sintraweedon. In 2022, Japanese entertainment company 'Maruhan' also decided to invest in capital from platinum sponsor, and Japanese marketing company 'Septeni' in 2023. This time, even Japanet came forward.

In fact, it is Sintrauden, which has become a club that acts as a European outpost for Japanese players. The CEO is also Takayuki Tateishi, who is Japanese. 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.

There are already six Japanese players playing in Sint-Trawidan. Four out of six are young players born after 2000. Sint Traiden is changing like a satellite club that quickly recruits players with the potential to succeed in Europe to show good performance and then connects them to the European big leagues.

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'
