Sint-Truidense V.V. (hereinafter 'STVV') is pleased to announce the conclusion of a corporate sponsorship agreement with Taiyodo Kampo Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo) for the 2025-2026 season.

This corporate sponsorship agreement was reached thanks to their support for STVV's vision of bridging Japan and Belgium—not only through Japanese players, coaches, and business staff challenging themselves in Europe and beyond, but also through broader contributions to sports and cross-cultural exchange.
