Philips Sport Vereniging (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈfi.lɪps ˌspɔrt vɛ.ˈreɪ̯.nɪ.ɣɪŋ]) (English: Philips Sports Union), abbreviated as PSV and widely known as PSV Eindhoven ([ˌpe.ɛs.ˈveɪ̯ ˈɛi̯nt.hoː.və(n)]), is a sports club from Eindhoven, Netherlands. It is best known for its professional football department which has been the home for many Dutch and foreign football talents.

Founded in 1913, PSV is one of three European Cup-winning clubs in the Netherlands, alongside AFC Ajax and Feyenoord. They won the European Cup in 1988 against Benfica, making them the second Dutch club to win The Treble, and the UEFA Cup in 1978 against SC Bastia. The club has won the national league 21 times, the national cup nine times and the Johan Cruijff Schaal eight times.

They are often nicknamed Boeren (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈbuːrə(n)], Dutch for farmers/peasants) in reference to their origins as a provincial city club. Their home is Philips Stadion, which is based in the Eindhoven borough of Strijp.

After Gerard and Anton Philips gave the foundation order, the club started out as a works team for employees of electronics conglomerate Philips on 31 August (then Koninginnedag), 1913 to celebrate the centennial defeat of the French in the Napoleonic Wars. PSV's home stadium, the Philips Stadion, then known as Philips Sportpark, was built at the same time as the inauguration of the club, although its current capacity was achieved by renovations and improvements over the years.

Eindhoven (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈɛi̯nt.ˌhoʊ̯.və(n)] ( listen)) is a municipality and a city located in the province of North Brabant in the south of the Netherlands, originally at the confluence of the Dommel and Gender streams. The Gender was dammed off short of the city centre in the 1950s, but the Dommel still runs through the city. The city counts 217,192 inhabitants (February 2012) and 261,082 if adjacent Veldhoven is included, making it the fifth-largest city of the Netherlands and the largest of North Brabant.

Neighbouring cities and towns include Son en Breugel, Nuenen, Geldrop-Mierlo, Heeze-Leende, Waalre, Veldhoven, Eersel, Oirschot and Best. The agglomeration has some 440,000 inhabitants. The metropolitan area (which includes Helmond) has nearly 750,000 inhabitants. Also, Eindhoven is part of Brabant Stad, a combined metropolitan area with more than 2 million inhabitants. In 2011, Eindhoven was named world's most intelligent community by Intelligent Community Forum.

The name Eindhoven derives from the contraction of the regional words eind (meaning last or end) and hove (or hoeve; a section of some 14 hectares of land). "Eind" is toponymically a common prefix and postfix in local place- and streetnames. A "hove" was a parcel of land that might be given in leasehold to private persons such as farmers by the local lord. Taken in conjunction with the fact that a string of such parcels existed around Woensel, the original location of Eindhoven may be understood to be the "last hove on the land of Woensel".

Park Ji-Sung (Hangul: 박지성; Hanja: 朴智星; Korean pronunciation: [pak̚t͈ɕisʌŋ]; sometimes romanised as Park Ji-Suong; born 25 February 1981) is a South Korean footballer who plays as a midfielder for English club Manchester United. He was also the captain of the South Korean national team until his retirement from international football. He is the most decorated Asian footballer in history, as the first Asian player to have won the Champions League trophy and the first Asian to have played in a final of the UEFA Champions League.

Park began his football career in his native South Korea and played for the Myongji University team before moving to Japan to play for Kyoto Purple Sanga. After Park's national team manager Guus Hiddink moved back to the Netherlands to manage PSV Eindhoven, Park followed him to the Dutch side a year later. After PSV reached the semi-finals of the 2004–05 UEFA Champions League, Park's talents were recognised by Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson and he signed Park for a fee of around £4 million in July 2005. Since then, Park has won the Premier League four times and has also won the UEFA Champions League and the FIFA Club World Cup. Park is able to play anywhere across the midfield and is noted for his exceptional fitness level, discipline, work ethic and off-the-ball movement.

Ji Sung (or Ji Seong; whose real name is Kwak Tae-gun) is a South Korean actor, born on 27 February 1977. He is best known for his roles in popular drama series such as Save the Last Dance for Me and New Heart.

Ji majored in film at Suwon University. He made his acting debut in 1999.

In June 2005, Ji Sung began his mandatory military service, drawing attention from the media when he chose to be a soldier rather than a public service agent. He was designated as "public ambassador of military affairs" by the Military Manpower Administration in February, 2006. Ji was joined by co-actor Ko Soo in March of the same year. He was discharged from the army on 6 June 2007, having completed his military duty.

Phillip John William Cocu (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈfɪ.lɪp ˈdʒɔn ˈwɪ.li.jɑm koˈky]) (born 29 October 1970 in Eindhoven, Noord-Brabant) is a former Dutch football midfielder who is currently an assistant manager of the Dutch national team and assistant manager for Dutch club PSV. For the 2012-13 season Cocu will be also coach of the A1 team in the youth of the club.

Cocu was a versatile player, being able to play in defence or midfield, in more than one position, but usually played a central playmaker role or defensive midfield, dictating his team's play. He was best known for his tackling, vision, and great teamwork.

Cocu first started out playing football at amateur level with clubs such as AFC '34 and DCS Zevenaar. He signed his first professional contract with AZ in the 1988-89 season when he was just 17 years old. After an encouraging start at the club, he joined Vitesse in 1990.

His career at Vitesse was blighted by him breaking his right leg in his first game against Sparta Rotterdam. After fully recovering in 1992, he assisted his club to a top five finish in the Eredivisie and a qualification spot for the UEFA Cup competition. AFC Ajax tried to sign him twice when he was at Vitesse, but it was Dick Advocaat who signed him for PSV in 1995.
