Koki Machida leaves Union for Hoffenheim
After 3.5 seasons at Union, Machida (27) signs a contract with the German club TSG Hoffenheim. The entire club thanks Koki for his relentless commitment to Union.
Dear Koki,
We’ve shared everything. From the heartbreak of missing out on the Championship… to the one and only, unforgettable ‘Koki Cup’ win. And just one year later, you played a vital role in bringing home our first title in 90 years.
Always smiling. Always putting the team first. Always representing Union with pride.
114 games later, you’re now part of the history of this club.
Wishing you all the best for what’s next. 💛💙
Koki Machida played 114 matches for Union. He scored four goals, including the only goal in the 2024 Cup Final that earned us our first Belgian cup in 110 years.
In the 2024-2025 season, he was a key pillar in the rock-solid defence that delivered our first league title after 90 years of waiting.
