PSV

The Eindhoven football club PSV (Philips Sport Vereniging) was founded on 31 August 1913. At first only amateurs and youth players joined the club, but when professional football was introduced in the Netherlands in 1954, a professional football section was duly added. As the financial interests of professional football increased, the PSV Football Foundation was established in 1984. Professional football and the accompanying assets were classed in this foundation under the responsibility of a Foundation Board. All professional football and youth activities have been placed with PSV N.V. 1 July 1999 and PSV participates as shareholder in this public limited company.
