Philips to End PSV Eindhoven Shirt Sponsorship Deal
- Sponsorship End: Philips is ending its 30-year shirt sponsorship of PSV Eindhoven.
- Reason for Change: The decision is due to Philips' organizational shift away from consumer electronics, not financial issues.
- Continued Partnership: Philips will remain an important partner of PSV, including maintaining the stadium naming rights.
Philips will stop sponsoring PSV Eindhoven's Shirts after 30 years. Dutch champions PSV (Philips Sport Vereniging) today officially announced that main sponsor Philips will not extend their shirt sponsorship deal.
PSV just last weekend won the Dutch Eredivisie title for the 22nd time and for the first time since 2008. For the new season, PSV announced a new five-year kit deal with Umbro who will produce the PSV 2015-16 Kits, the last to feature Philips on the front.
Philips To Remain Important PSV Club Partner
Philips SV was founded as a team for Philips employees in Eindhoven in 1913, explaining the presence of Philips' name in the team name. The current sponsorship deal between PSV and Philips is worth between €5 million and €7m and ends in mid 2016 after more than 30 years.
Philips explained that the decision to step back as main sponsor of PSV was not for financial reasons, but because it fits with the organizational changes Philips is undergoing away from consumer electronics and more towards medical equipment.
PSV General Director Toon Gerbrands commented: “We understand the impact of this moment. But the ties remain strong and the ultimate goal is that PSV could increase the commercial revenues of the club with a new sponsorship deal. Philips and PSV are together convinced of this.”
In a similar move back in 2000, chemical company Bayer AG ended its shirt sponsorship of Bayer Leverkusen, also initially founded as an employees' team. Bayer AG remained as stadium name sponsor and the club's most important financial supporter, although the shirt is currently sponsored by LG.
Committed to remain an important club partner in the future, Philips will continue as name sponsor for Philips Stadion and also as an important secondary sponsor.

Neymar to Retain Brazil No. 10 Shirt for 2026 World Cup
The debate over Brazil’s most iconic shirt number has been officially settled ahead of the 2026 World Cup. It has been confirmed that Neymar will retain the famous No. 10 jersey for the upcoming tournament in North America.
Following a lengthy period away from the national team due to injury, questions had naturally arisen regarding the future of the prestigious shirt. During Neymar's prolonged absence, the Brazilian No. 10 was shared among the squad's other attacking stars. Both Vinicius Junior and Raphinha have donned the historic number in recent international fixtures.
Despite their growing influence and status within the Seleção, both players have willingly stepped aside out of respect for the veteran forward. Highlighting the squad's unity on the matter, Vinicius Junior openly addressed the situation, stating clearly that the shirt "obviously belongs to Neymar."
Earlier rumors suggested that Neymar might adopt the No. 13 jersey.
Do you agree with the decision to keep Neymar in the No. 10 shirt, or was it time to pass it on to a younger player like Vinicius Junior? Let us know in the comments below.
