Philips Sport Vereniging (English: Philips Sports Union), widely known either as PSV or PSV Eindhoven, is a sports club from Eindhoven, the Netherlands. It is best known for its professional football section.
PSV are one of the three big football clubs of the Netherlands, the other two being Ajax Amsterdam and Feyenoord Rotterdam. The club won the European Cup, the predecessor of today's Champions League, in 1988 and is a regular competitor in the current European Champions' League. They are often nicknamed Boeren (Dutch for 'peasants') in reference to their provincial city origins.
History
As its name indicates, the club started out as a company-sponsored sports club for Philips employees on August 31, 1913 to celebrate the centennial defeat of the French in the Napoleonic wars. PSV has evolved into a fully professional football club. Its home in Eindhoven is the Philips Stadion with a modest capacity of 36,500 spectators which is fully seated. Plans to further expand the ground to 40,000 seats have been put on hold. It was, however, the stadium where many European Cup final matches were played, and more recently was one of the Dutch venues for the Euro 2000 competition held jointly by the Netherlands and Belgium. It was built at the same time as the inauguration of the club, although its current capacity was only achieved by various modernisation programmes throughout its history. The average attendance for the season 2005/06 was 33,165 spectators.
PSV garnered many honours in the football arena and has been credited as the club where many successful players such as Ruud Gullit, Ronald Koeman, Mateja Kežman, Romário, Ronaldo, Luc Nilis, Philip Cocu, Erik Gerets, Jaap Stam, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Arjen Robben plied their trade and talents. Its success was built on the foundations laid down by other famous players like Willy van der Kuijlen, Jan van Beveren, Jan Poortvliet, the Van de Kerkhof brothers who also played for the Dutch national team and Huub Stevens in the 1970s where the club won the UEFA Cup in 1978, defeating Bastia 3-0 in the final.
In 1988, coached by Guus Hiddink and with a team featuring numerous excellent players such as Ronald Koeman, Eric Gerets, Søren Lerby and Wim Kieft, PSV won the European Cup for the first time and so far only time in its history, beating Benfica on penalties after a goalless final. Curiously, PSV took the trophy despite not winning any of its final five fixtures in the competition: it eliminated both Bordeaux and Real Madrid on away goals, with all four matches ending in draws. Following the European Cup win, PSV faced off with Libertadores winners, Club Nacional de Football of Montevideo. After a 2-2 draw, Nacional went on to defeat PSV Eindhoven in penalties to win their 3rd World Club title. Guus Hiddink still calls that game one of the hardest defeats of his entire career.
Despite being able to scout South America and most of Europe for budding talents such as those players above, many of them have indirectly made PSV as a springboard for professional development such as Ronaldo who spent only two seasons at the club as well as Mateja Kežman and Arjen Robben, and most recently, Park Ji-Sung and Lee Young-Pyo who were restless at the opportunity to move to more illustrious clubs after a mere two seasons. The recent transfer of South Korea player Park to English club Manchester United was even quoted by PSV spokesman Pedro Salazar-Hewitt as having admitted that 'we'd love to keep him but the club has already asked for the player' indicates a total lack of control over the future of their own players. [1]. Regardless, after the departures of influential players such as Mark van Bommel, Johann Vogel, Park Ji-Sung, Lee Young-Pyo and Wilfred Bouma after the 2004/2005 season, PSV has moved to secure the services of players like Mika Väyrynen, Osmar Ferreyra and Belgium midfielder Timmy Simons. With the addition of young players to bolster the squad such as Ismaïl Aissati and Ibrahim Afellay, PSV reached the knockout stage of the Champions League 2005/2006 for the second time in 2 seasons, having achieved the semi-final stage in the Champions League the season before.
Famous coaches such as Guus Hiddink (who between stints at PSV coached the Dutch national team to a fourth-place finish in the 1998 FIFA World Cup and South Korea to a similar fourth place in the 2002 FIFA World Cup) have managed the team over the years and have brought considerable successes to the club. Eric Gerets' stint as manager at the club has also yielded 2 Eredivisie titles.
For 2006-2007 season, PSV have contracted manager Ronald Koeman to succeed Hiddink. They have also signed Ecuadorian player Edison Méndez and Mexican player Carlos Salcido after the 2006 Fifa World Cup, where they assisted their teams to the second round. Jan Wouters and Tonny Bruins-Slot will be the two new assistant-managers.

Currently, there are 17 clubs called PSV, all member of the Federatie van Philips Sport Verenigingen (Federation of Philips Sports Unions). The more than 5000 members (2003) participate in 20 different sports.
The recent successes of the swim club -- Pieter van den Hoogenband and Inge de Bruijn shared 8 medals (of which 5 gold) between them during the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney -- has made it the second best known after the football club, but many of the other member clubs are also high-ranked in their respective national competitions.
Trivia
The Dutch comedian Theo Maassen once stole the UEFA-cup from the Philips Stadion. For several years it was unknown who had been responsible for the disappearance of the trophy. The true story was confessed by Maassen himself, live on a talkshow focussed on football. That night the show had several guests that were in the possession of rare soccer artifacts. When the host asked Maassen about his artifact, he took the UEFA-cup out of his bag and put it on the table, in front of the baffled host and guests.
