'''[[Philips]] Sport Vereniging''' ({{IPA|nl|ˈfilɪps ˌspɔrt fərˈeːnəɣɪŋ}};{{refn|group=nb|In isolation, ''Philips'' and ''Vereniging'' are pronounced {{IPA|nl|ˈfilɪps}} and {{IPA|nl|vərˈeːnəɣɪŋ|}}, respectively.}} {{langx|en|[[Philips]] Sports Society}}), abbreviated as '''PSV''' and internationally known as '''PSV Eindhoven''' ({{IPA|nl|ˌpeːjɛsˈfeː ˈʔɛintˌɦoːvə(n)|pron}}),{{refn|group=nb|''Eindhoven'' in isolation: {{IPA|nl|ˈɛintˌɦoːvə(n)|}}.}} is a Dutch sports club from [[Eindhoven]], Netherlands. It is best known for its professional [[association football|football]] department, which has played in the [[Eredivisie]], the top tier in Dutch football, since its inception in 1956. Along with [[AFC Ajax|Ajax]] and [[Feyenoord]], PSV is one of the country's "[[Big Three (Netherlands)|big three]]" clubs that have dominated the Eredivisie.

The club was founded in 1913 as a team for [[Philips]] employees. PSV's history contains two golden eras revolving around the [[1977–78 UEFA Cup|UEFA Cup victory in 1978]] and the [[1987–88 European Cup]] victory as part of the [[Treble (association football)|seasonal treble]] in [[1987–88 PSV Eindhoven season|1988]]. The team has won the Eredivisie 27 times, the [[KNVB Cup]] 11 times and the [[Johan Cruyff Shield]] a record 15 times. Currently (as of January 2026), PSV is ranked 18th on the [[UEFA]] club coefficients ranking.<ref name="uefa">[https://archive.today/20130929153243/http://www.uefa.com/memberassociations/uefarankings/club/season=2014/index.html Club coefficients], UEFA.com.</ref>
Throughout the years, PSV has developed a reputation as a stepping stone for players who later achieved success at major European clubs or on the international stage, including: [[Ruud Gullit]], [[Ronald Koeman]], [[Romário]], [[Ronaldo (Brazilian footballer)|Ronaldo]], [[Phillip Cocu]], [[Boudewijn Zenden]], [[Jaap Stam]], [[Ruud van Nistelrooy]], [[Arjen Robben]], [[Denzel Dumfries]], [[Mark van Bommel]], [[Park Ji-sung]], [[Georginio Wijnaldum]], [[Memphis Depay]], and [[Cody Gakpo]].

Since its foundation, it has played in the [[Philips Stadion]] and has upheld its club colours (red and white). Its elaborate connection with Philips can be witnessed in its sponsoring, shared technology and board member ties. Fans have named themselves 'boeren' ({{IPA|nl|ˈbuːrə(n)}}, [[Dutch language|Dutch]] for either peasants or farmers), taking pride in Eindhoven's status of being a provincial city and their [[North Brabant|Brabantian]] heritage.

==History==

===Foundation and first decades (1913–1962)===
[[File:PSV Kampioenselftal 1929.jpg|thumb|PSV's first league-winning team in 1929]]

To serve the need for activities with [[Philips]] employees, the company founded its own football team in 1910: the Philips Elftal. Its ground was the [[Philips Stadion|Philips Sportpark]], located on the same location as the present day stadium. Financial turmoil and worker strikes led to a quick demise of the team and in 1913, its successor emerged, Philips Sport Vereniging, founded on 31 August.<ref name="philipselftal">{{cite web |title=Het Philips Elftal |url=http://www.psvzuipsite.nl/index.php?menu_id=61&multitext_id=140 |publisher=PSV Zuipsite |access-date=19 June 2013 |language=nl |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130624232722/http://www.psvzuipsite.nl/index.php?menu_id=61&multitext_id=140 |archive-date=24 June 2013 }}</ref> It was the day that Philips organized celebrations and sports competitions in light of the centennial of the defeat of the French in the [[Napoleonic Wars]]. It was not until 1916, however, that the football department switched its name from Philips Elftal to PSV.<ref name="founding">{{cite web |title=De oprichting van de Philips Sport Vereniging |url=http://www.psvzuipsite.nl/index.php?menu_id=61&multitext_id=139 |publisher=PSV Zuipsite |access-date=19 June 2013 |language=nl |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070425225412/http://www.psvzuipsite.nl/index.php?menu_id=61 |archive-date=25 April 2007 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Because of [[World War I]], the first possibility to enter a league was in the 1915–16 season. The club's first ever match was a 3–2 defeat against [[Willem II (football club)|Willem II Reserves]] on 19 September 1915. The team did achieve promotion that season to a newly created Third Division of the Brabantian FA. Under the guidance of coach Wout Buitenweg, PSV were promoted in 1918 and 1921 as well, eventually reaching the [[1921–22 Netherlands Football League Championship|Eerste Klasse]]. The team was relegated in [[1924–25 Netherlands Football League Championship|1925]], but its stint in the Second Division only lasted one year when PSV were promoted again. Since 1926, PSV has always played in the highest possible domestic league.<ref name="firsttitle">{{cite web |title=De beginjaren en het eerste kampioenschap |url=http://www.psvzuipsite.nl/index.php?menu_id=61&multitext_id=138 |publisher=PSV Zuipsite |access-date=19 June 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070425225412/http://www.psvzuipsite.nl/index.php?menu_id=61 |archive-date=25 April 2007 |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref name="history">{{cite web |title=History |url=http://www.psv.nl/History.htm |publisher=PSV.nl |access-date=19 June 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130728034252/http://www.psv.nl/History.htm |archive-date=28 July 2013 }}</ref><ref name="trainers">{{cite web |title=Trainers |url=http://www.psv.nl/History/Trainers.htm |publisher=PSV.nl |access-date=19 June 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100918021011/http://www.psv.nl/History/Trainers.htm |archive-date=18 September 2010 }}</ref>

He was responsible for bringing the club to a new level with new accommodations and stadium expansions. After winning the district league in 1929, PSV entered the [[1928–29 Netherlands Football League Championship|championship play-offs]]. In that competition, it won six out of eight matches. A 5–1 win against Velocitas from the city of [[Groningen]] meant that PSV was crowned league champions for the first time.<ref name="first">{{cite web |title=De 1e landstitel |url=http://www.stichting1913.nl/de-1e-landstitel-1929 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130624232734/http://www.stichting1913.nl/de-1e-landstitel-1929 |url-status=usurped |archive-date=24 June 2013 |publisher=Stichting 1913 |access-date=19 June 2013 |language=nl }}</ref> In the following three years, PSV won the district league every year, but it could not win the play-offs until 1935.

In 1955, PSV became the first Dutch club to enter the [[UEFA Champions League|European Champion Clubs' Cup]]. The two matches against [[SK Rapid Wien|Rapid Wien]] ended in 1–6 and 1–0.<ref name="fransen"/> Other success in the 1950s remained absent but in the [[1956–57 Eredivisie|1956–57 season]], Dillen scored 43 times, a Dutch record that still stands today.<ref name="zwiers">{{cite web |title=PSV |url=http://www.ronaldzwiers.0catch.com/PSV/PSV.htm |publisher=Ronald Zwiers |access-date=18 June 2013 |language=nl |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130609120927/http://www.ronaldzwiers.0catch.com/PSV/PSV.htm |archive-date=9 June 2013 |url-status=dead }}</ref> The approaching 1960s marked a shift in player's heritage: the team went from mostly [[North Brabant|Brabantian]] men to players nationwide.

===Van der Kuijlen era and UEFA Cup victory (1963–1978)===

In the [[1962–63 Eredivisie|1962–63 season]], marking PSV's 50-year anniversary, the club appointed [[Bram Appel]] as the new coach. The first results were disastrous, however, with a mere six points earned from the first six fixtures. A sudden revival led to a first place at the winter break and a 5–2 victory over [[AFC Ajax|Ajax]] in June meant that PSV could celebrate its fourth league title, with [[Pierre Kerkhofs]] leading the goal scorer charts with 22 goals.<ref name=fourth /><ref name="topscorers">{{cite web |title=Topscorers |url=http://eredivisielive.nl/eredivisie/statistieken/topscorer/ |publisher=Eredivisie Live |access-date=18 June 2013 |language=nl |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120223143546/http://eredivisielive.nl/eredivisie/statistieken/topscorer/ |archive-date=23 February 2012 }}</ref> The following year, PSV ended second in the league but more significantly, reached the [[1963–64 European Cup|Europa Cup I]] quarter-finals for the first time, where it was eliminated by [[FC Zürich]].

Between 1968 and 1972, [[Kurt Linder]] coached PSV. His team reached two Dutch cup finals and the [[1970–71 European Cup Winners' Cup|semi-finals of the European Cup Winners' Cup]]. Van der Kuijlen had trouble fulfilling his promise after an encouraging career start in the 1960s, however, partly because of a lack of chemistry between him and Linder's harsh coaching style. The early 1970s in football were dominated by [[AFC Ajax|Ajax]] and [[Feyenoord]] and it was not until the appointment of [[Kees Rijvers]] as coach in 1972 that would mark the start of increasing success for PSV. With Van der Kuijlen and goalkeeper [[Jan van Beveren]] as the stars of the team, Rijvers created a new squad by signing [[Ralf Edström]], Gerrie Deijkers and the twins [[Willy van der Kerkhof|Willy]] and [[René van der Kerkhof]]. Things improved for Van der Kuijlen when Rijvers built the team around him, giving him a free role in the process. Van der Kuijlen, a technical player, formed a successful striker partnership with Edström, who was famed for his heading ability. It led to a [[1973–74 KNVB Cup|Dutch cup victory in 1974]], and after a blistering season start (no defeats in the first season half) and 28 goals by Van der Kuijlen. PSV also won the league for the fifth time in [[1974–75 Eredivisie|1975]].

A year later, PSV managed to win its first [[Double (association football)|double]]. With defender [[Huub Stevens]] joining the team, the league title was secured after a 4–1 result against Feyenoord. Earlier, a 1–0 victory over [[Roda JC Kerkrade|Roda JC]] meant that PSV won the national cup as well. In the [[1975–76 European Cup|European Cup]], the final was only narrowly missed after a 1–0 aggregate loss against [[AS Saint-Étienne|Saint-Étienne]] in the semi-finals.<ref name="zwiers"/><ref name="sixth">{{cite web |title=De 6e landstitel |url=http://www.stichting1913.nl/de-6e-landstitel-1976 |publisher=Stichting 1913 |access-date=18 June 2013 |url-status=usurped |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131216155509/http://www.stichting1913.nl/de-6e-landstitel-1976 |archive-date=16 December 2013 }}</ref> After the two consecutive titles, PSV ended second in 1977. The following year, Edström left the squad but PSV nonetheless enjoyed a strong league campaign. In April 1978, the team secured the title without a single loss. The domestic cup ended early after a shocking 1–6 first round loss against [[FC Wageningen]] (PSV's biggest home loss ever to date). The [[1977–78 UEFA Cup|UEFA Cup]] campaign proved to be more successful; after wins against [[Glenavon F.C.|Glenavon]], [[Widzew Łódź]], [[Eintracht Braunschweig]] and [[1. FC Magdeburg]], the team faced [[FC Barcelona|Barcelona]]. A 3–0 win in the first leg was nullified by the Spaniards in the return leg, but a single goal by [[Nick Deacy]] at [[Camp Nou]] meant that PSV could progress with a 4–3 aggregate win. The two-legged final against [[SC Bastia|Bastia]] first produced a goalless draw in the first match. The return leg in Eindhoven ended in a 3–0 win, with goals by Willy van de Kerkhof, Deijkers and Van der Kuijlen providing PSV its first European trophy.<ref name="seventh">{{cite web |title=De 7e landstitel |url=http://www.stichting1913.nl/de-7e-landstitel-1978 |publisher=Stichting 1913 |access-date=18 June 2013 |language=nl |url-status=usurped |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131109084654/http://www.stichting1913.nl/de-7e-landstitel-1978 |archive-date=9 November 2013 }}</ref>

[[File:Guus Hiddink 1988.jpg|thumb|Guus Hiddink as coach of PSV in 1988]]

After the UEFA Cup victory, the team chemistry started to suffer, which was reflected in the results. Not long after a 6–0 UEFA Cup loss against Saint-Étienne, Rijvers was sacked and the squad disintegrated.<ref name="seventh"/> Van Beveren, unhappy with the declining success and Rijvers' departure, left for the United States after 291 league games and years of captaincy.<ref name="sixth"/> Van Gelder also quit in 1980 and was replaced by Kees Ploegsma.

[[Thijs Libregts]]' (coach from 1980 until 1983) highest league position was the second place in the [[1981-82 Eredivisie|1981–82 season]], and in 1983, [[Jan Reker]] took over. A clash between Van der Kuijlen and Libregts led to the former's departure in 1982 after nearly 18 seasons at the club.<ref name="fifth"/><ref name="begin">{{cite web |title=Hoe het ooit begon |url=http://www.psv.nl/web/show/id=51252/langid=43 |publisher=PSV.nl |access-date=21 June 2013 |language=nl |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130406071537/http://www.psv.nl/web/show/id=51252/langid=43 |archive-date=6 April 2013 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

In 1985, chairman Jacques Ruts and Ploegsma decided on a change of direction: [[Hans Kraay Sr.|Hans Kraay]] became the new director of football (supervising Reker in 1985–86, and taking over altogether in 1986–87) and PSV started to sign players with flair, like [[Ruud Gullit]], [[Søren Lerby]], [[Gerald Vanenburg]] and [[Eric Gerets]]. Gullit, who quickly was appointed as captain, contributed to the team that headed the league table for the majority of the [[1985–86 Eredivisie]] and claimed the title after an 8–2 win against [[Go Ahead Eagles]]. Being unhappy with his personal development, Gullit heavily criticized PSV and Kraay in a March 1987 interview. The management's subsequent warning was deemed too lenient by Kraay, who resigned.

The [[1987–88 Eredivisie|1987–88 season]] turned out to be PSV's best year in history. The Eredivisie was won four matches before the end after many high scoring matches, leading up to 117 goals.

==Crest and colours==
{{Commons|PSV Eindhoven kits}}

PSV's first crest consisted of a light bulb and the words "Philips Sport" in a circular shape. Its next incarnation was a shield-shaped logo with red-and-white vertical lines, topped off with the letters "PSV". The third design of the crest proved to be a durable one; its oval shape, red-and-white horizontal lines and a flag with the PSV letters incorporated remains used until today. Only minor changes have occurred: the border color and addition of horseshoe-shaped figures, a circle around the three letters and the addition of two stars to commemorate winning twenty league titles. Early incarnations of the oval version also included dots for the abbreviation "P.S.V.". For the centennial celebrations in 2013, a laurel wreath and the number "100" in gold were temporarily added to the crest.<ref name="logo">{{cite web |title=Nieuw logo?? |url=http://psv.netwerk.to/forums/HTML/forum1/853-7.php |publisher=psv.netwerk.to |access-date=20 June 2013 |archive-date=6 March 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160306124725/http://psv.netwerk.to/forums/HTML/forum1/853-7.php |url-status=live }}</ref>

The colours red and white were chosen at the founding meeting in 1913 by Jan Willem Hofkes, the first chairman of the club. He apparently appreciated the contrast between his red raspberry drink and his white notepad.<ref name="founding"/> Inspired by the club colours, the first kit consisted of a red-and-white vertically striped shirt, black shorts and red-and-white horizontally striped socks. This combination was worn until the 1970s, when the club switched to a completely red shirt, which was worn with either white or black shorts. The red kit was changed back to a striped version in 1989. The red-and-white stripes have remained ever since, albeit in very varied adaptations. The shorts would also often change between black and white. During Ruud Gullit's tenure at PSV, he personally changed the shorts from black to white, in an attempt to improve the stature of the kit.<ref name="gullitnos">{{cite web |title=De megadeal van Ruud Gullit |url=http://nos.nl/video/238047-de-megadeal-van-ruud-gullit.html |publisher=EveryoneWeb |access-date=24 June 2013 |archive-date=17 September 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130917095249/http://nos.nl/video/238047-de-megadeal-van-ruud-gullit.html |url-status=live }}</ref> For the centennial celebrations in 2013, PSV have temporarily switched to an all-red jersey with white shorts and socks.

Because of the close ties with Philips, PSV had the same jersey sponsor without exception from 1982, the year jersey sponsorships were introduced in the Eredivisie, until 2016. This is a record in Dutch football. Starting in the 2016–17 season, however, Philips was no longer the main shirt sponsor. PSV's first clothing sponsor was [[Le Coq Sportif]], from 1970 to 1974, when it switched to [[Adidas]]. They remained the sponsor until 1995, when they were replaced by [[Nike, Inc.|Nike]], until [[Umbro]] became the shirt sponsor in 2015, ending a 20-year relationship between PSV and Nike.

PSV have played at the [[Philips Stadion]] since its foundation in 1913, when it was still named Philips Sportpark. The venue was built in the [[Strijp]] borough, and more specifically in the Philipsdorp area – a neighborhood set up in 1910 by [[Anton Philips]] to provide accommodation to employees. A football field was simultaneously laid out where PSV's predecessor, the Philips Elftal, played its first match on 15 January 1911 against Hollandia from [[Woensel]].<ref name="philipselftal"/><ref name="philipsdorp">{{cite web |title=Philipsdorp 100 jaar kwaliteit |url=http://www.nieman.nl/2013/04/philipsdorp-100-jaar-kwaliteit/ |publisher=Nieman |access-date=1 July 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150507221524/http://nieman.nl/2013/04/philipsdorp-100-jaar-kwaliteit/ |archive-date=7 May 2015 |url-status=dead }}</ref> In 1916, the first wooden stand was built, providing seating space for 550 viewers.<ref name="stadiumspits">{{cite web |title=Hypermodern stadion dankzij betonrot |url=http://www.spitsnieuws.nl/archives/sport/2013/02/hypermodern-stadion-dankzij-betonrot |publisher=Spits |access-date=1 July 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130304061325/http://www.spitsnieuws.nl/archives/sport/2013/02/hypermodern-stadion-dankzij-betonrot |archive-date=4 March 2013 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Another stand with 900 seats was built in the 1930s. In 1941, a running track was added, but it was removed 17 years later. During World War II, the stadium was damaged by the war; the reparations took place after the liberation of South Netherlands in 1944.

Four 40-meter high floodlights were installed in the stadium in 1958, making evening matches possible. The lights were inaugurated with an exhibition match against Anderlecht.<ref name="stadiumlight">{{cite web |title=De eerste lichtwedstrijd in het PSV-stadion |url=http://www.sportgeschiedenis.nl/2011/05/07/de-eerste-lichtwedstrijd-in-het-psv-stadion.aspx |publisher=Sportgeschiedenis |access-date=1 July 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150120053854/http://www.sportgeschiedenis.nl/2011/05/07/de-eerste-lichtwedstrijd-in-het-psv-stadion.aspx |archive-date=20 January 2015 }}</ref> In 1977, the main stand was completely rebuilt, but an [[alkali–silica reaction]] ten years later caused the concrete to crack. Chairman Jacques Ruts, who was previously introduced to the [[Luxury box|skybox]] in the United States, considered a new stand to be an opportunity to attract more sponsors. The new main stand – two tiers, with skyboxes in the middle – was introduced in a friendly match against Milan in 1988. In the nineties, the other three stands are also elevated. The last major renovation was the closing of the four open corners of the stadium. Along with creating more seats, the new corners had window blind-type constructions, which allowed air to flow through to let the grass breathe.<ref name="stadiumspits"/> The completion was celebrated in October 2002, with the capacity increased to 35,000.<ref name="2003season"/> In the summer of 2005, the club removed the tall fences around the pitch, replacing them with lower railings keeping the spectators off the grass. Unauthorized persons who invade the pitch will receive a €15,000 penalty and a ten-year-ban from visiting the ground.

PSV's main rivalry is with [[AFC Ajax|Ajax]], with both teams regularly competing for the league title in the last forty years. The PSV fans, whose club has reserved the kit number "12" for them, refer to themselves as ''boeren'' (peasants/farmers); the word can be heard chanted through the home ground after every PSV goal. Its reference designates taking pride in their [[North Brabant|Brabantian]] heritage, as opposed to the [[Metropolitan area|metropolitan]] [[Amsterdam]] area. The Brabantian identity also plays a fundamental role in the club's culture with the [[Flag of North Brabant]] being incorporated in shirt design and being displayed in and around the stadium. PSV used to have an ongoing rivalry with [[FC Eindhoven]], which originated in the 1910s. FC Eindhoven, being the older team, manifested itself as the "people's club", whereas PSV was only open to Philips employees. In the 1940s and 1950s, PSV and FC Eindhoven were both competing for the league title, which increased the feud and divided the City of Light in "red-white striped" and "blue-white striped".<ref name="psvgoal"/> Fixtures between the two sides were named the ''Lichtstadderby'' ("[[City of Light (disambiguation)|City of Light]] Derby"). After FC Eindhoven's decline in the 1970s, the rivalry disappeared. Nowadays, relations between the two sets of supporters are generally friendly; during the annual pre-season derby supporters even sit in the same end without any major incidents. Although a friendly rivalry still exists, it is mostly felt on the FC Eindhoven side. However, it is not uncommon for people in Eindhoven to go to FC Eindhoven on Fridays (the usual matchday in the [[Eerste Divisie]]) and to go to PSV on a Saturday or Sunday. In recent times, FC Eindhoven was PSV's feeder club on several occasions and the clubs share a women's team and youth setup.<ref name="derby">{{cite web |title=De Lichtstadderby |url=http://psv.netwerk.to/forums/HTML/forum16/168.php |publisher=PSV Netwerk |access-date=22 June 2013 |archive-date=2 October 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131002212412/http://psv.netwerk.to/forums/HTML/forum16/168.php |url-status=live }}</ref><ref name="youthsetup">{{cite web |title=Samenwerking Jeugdopleiding PSV en FC Eindhoven |url=http://www.fc-eindhoven.nl/nieuws/2563/samenwerking-jeugdopleiding-psv-en-fc-eindhoven |publisher=FC Eindhoven |access-date=22 June 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131002092836/http://www.fc-eindhoven.nl/nieuws/2563/samenwerking-jeugdopleiding-psv-en-fc-eindhoven |archive-date=2 October 2013 |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref name="womens">{{cite web |title=PSV/FC Eindhoven |url=http://www.psvfceindhoven.nl/ |publisher=PSV/FC Eindhoven |access-date=22 June 2013 |archive-date=19 June 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130619200731/http://psvfceindhoven.nl/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

==Organization and finances==
PSV was an association (''vereniging'') until 1999, when it became a [[public limited company]] with shareholders (''[[naamloze vennootschap]]''). It meant that the club installed a board of directors, who are not involved in most of the decision-making processes. Instead, they serve as an advising and supervising entity. All shares but one are owned by a [[Foundation (nonprofit)|foundation]], the Foundation PSV Football. The remaining share is owned by the Eindhoven Football Club PSV, another separate entity. The general manager holds responsibility for all activities regarding the club, and is supported by a manager operations and a treasurer. PSV also appoints a [[director of football]], who manages football-related processes such as transfers (in conjunction with the technical staff), to control the long-term planning.<ref name="organisation">{{cite web |title=Organisation |url=http://www.psv.nl/Club/Organisation.htm |publisher=PSV.nl |access-date=29 June 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140714205757/http://www.psv.nl/Club/Organisation.htm |archive-date=14 July 2014 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

PSV was founded by [[Philips]] and in the first decades, the club was only open to employees. The club did sign players from elsewhere, however; one of the perks of playing for PSV was that players who were offered a football contract were always offered a Philips job as well. Philips has been kit sponsor since 1982 and the PSV home ground has included the Philips name since its foundation. The company was paying €7.5&nbsp;million per year for the sponsoring when they ended their kit sponsorship role in 2016.<ref name="phiipspsv">{{cite web |title=Philips en PSV: spannende relatie of verstandshuwelijk? |url=http://www.molblog.nl/bericht/Philips-en-PSV-spannende-relatie-of-verstandshuwelijk/ |publisher=Molblog |access-date=29 June 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130816192449/http://www.molblog.nl/bericht/Philips-en-PSV-spannende-relatie-of-verstandshuwelijk/ |archive-date=16 August 2013 |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref name="phiipspsv100">{{cite web |title=PSV extend Philips relationship beyond 100 years |date=10 March 2011 |url=http://www.sportspromedia.com/news/psv_extend_philips_relationship_beyond_100th_year/ |publisher=Sports Pro Media |access-date=29 June 2013 |archive-date=14 July 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140714165433/http://www.sportspromedia.com/news/psv_extend_philips_relationship_beyond_100th_year/ |url-status=live }}</ref> [[Frits Philips]], chairman of the company between 1961 and 1971, became an icon for PSV during his lifetime.
