[Sint-Truiden] Regarding the Conclusion of a Sponsorship Agreement with Interior Inc.

Sint-Truiden VV (hereinafter "STVV") is pleased to announce that it has concluded a corporate sponsorship agreement with Interior Inc. (Headquarters: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo) for the 2025-2026 season.

This corporate sponsorship agreement was reached after the company expressed its support for STVV's vision, which includes the challenge of Japanese players, coaches, and business staff to succeed in Europe and on the global stage, as well as acting as a bridge between Japan and Belgium beyond the realm of sports.

[Comment from Interior Inc.] "We have concluded this corporate sponsorship agreement because we deeply resonate with STVV's vision of being a 'gateway for young talent from Japan to the world.'

Our company name is derived from the soccer position 'Interior' (inside half). The role of connecting offense and defense, carefully assessing the state of play, and creating decisive opportunities is the ideal image of the consulting we provide to our clients through recruitment, M&A, and sales support.

Just like an 'Interior' that drives the team from the heart of the field, we want to be a partner that maximizes the potential of STVV and everyone who continues to take on challenges. Together, we will create energy that shakes the world from Belgium and strive for further leaps forward."
