Legendary Japanese footballer Kazuyoshi Miura, who began playing professionally in 1986, has transferred on loan from J-League first-division club Yokohama FC to Portuguese second-division team Oliveirense.
The deal was believed more than a football affair considering the two clubs are both owned by the Japanese company Onodera Group.
On November 4, 2022, Yokohama FC announced that the Onodera Group had acquired a majority stake in Oliveirense.
“I’m going to make an effort so that people will be able to see me play my kind of football, even in new surroundings,” the 55-year-old Miura said in a statement.
Japan’s Kyodo news agency said that Miura, who played for Suzuka Point Getters in the fourth-tier Japan Football League last season on loan, will play for Oliveirense until the summer.
