Yangcheon TNT FC in Seoul and Mie United Club in Bensedor, Japan, have formed a partnership.

The two clubs, which are preparing to become professional clubs based on grassroots soccer, plan to utilize the geographical advantages of Korea and Japan to conduct exchanges and projects for mutual development.

Founded in 2016 with ties to Mie Prefecture, Japan, Benchedor Mie is a member of the Tokai Regional League (5th Division). The team is led by Yohei Iwasaki, who has played professionally in seven countries, including Japan, 토토사이트 Brazil, Australia, and India.

Bencedor Mie is also a satellite club of Atletico Suzuka, a club from the same Mie prefecture that is preparing to move up to the JFL (4th Division), where “Japanese legend” Kazuyoshi Miura plays.

Starting with the first exchange game at Hannuri Soccer Stadium in Yangcheon-gu, Seoul, in August, the two clubs agreed to a realistic partnership that will include player exchanges, coach and staff exchanges, the provision and utilization of facilities and networks during mutual visits, and youth team exchanges.

Benchedor Mie President Yoheri Iwasaki said: “We are delighted to announce our first international partnership with Yangchuan TNT. We know that TNT has produced many professional players over the years. This partnership will provide new opportunities for each other,” said Mie President Yoheri Iwasaki. ”It is not just a collaboration, but a positive role for each other. We hope that we can play a positive role in each other’s lives beyond simple collaboration.”

“Japan, with its developed soccer system and lower league culture, can be a very realistic stage for our club,” said Yangcheon TNT CEO Kim Tae-ryung. ”It is important to create realistic partnerships, so we will continue to build a good relationship with Benchedor Mie and continue to create partnerships with J3 and JFL clubs.

Yangcheon TNT, known in soccer circles as a “professional player training center” and “independent club” with ties to Yangcheon-gu, Seoul, will compete in the 2024 K5 League Championship in Chungcheongju, Chungcheongbuk-do, starting on February 2.
