About K Sint-Truiden VV

Sint-Truidense VV (commonly STVV) is a Belgian professional football club based in Sint-Truiden, Limburg, founded in 1924. The club is known as “De Kanaries” (The Canaries) due to its yellow and blue colours, and it plays its home matches at the Stayen stadium. It competes in the Belgian Pro League and has been a regular top-flight team for much of its modern history.

The club’s most successful period came in the 1960s under coach Raymond Goethals, when STVV finished as runner-up in the Belgian First Division in the 1965–66 season, which remains its highest league achievement. Over the years, the club has also reached the Belgian Cup final twice and has won multiple promotions from the second division, reflecting a pattern of rising and rebuilding across generations.

In modern times, Sint-Truiden has established itself as a stable mid-table club in Belgium’s top division, with a reputation for developing talent and integrating international players. Since 2017, it has been owned by Japanese company DMM.com, which has influenced its recruitment strategy and increased its global visibility, especially through the signing and development of Japanese players.
