PSV Foundation launches PSV Foundation Academy
The PSV Foundation and the municipality of Eindhoven have launched the PSV Foundation Academy. During the New Year’s reception and convention, Yasin Torunoglu, alderman of the municipality of Eindhoven and PSV director Toon Gerbrands signed the contract for the Academy.
The PSV Foundation Academy will be situated at R.K.V.V. Tongelre, which is located in the city district of Tongelre. The Academy will become an institution, where football plays the central role. Still this year, the Academy will be opened at R.K.V.V. Tongelre.
Training
Currently, the PSV Foundation holds their training sessions at De Herdgang and at sport facilities in the neighbourhoods, where the community programmes are being delivered.
In the future, PSV Foundation will instead give certain community and social responsibility programmes at the new location in Tongelre. The Foundation is also talking to the municipality of Eindhoven to set-up new projects. The new projects shall further support the municipality of Einhoven and in particular Tongelre in addressing social matters.
Alderman Yasin Torunoglu states ” For many people in Eindhoven, PSV is much #morethanfootball. Through the work of the PSV Foundation, PSV shows that the love between the city and the club is mutual. We hope that the PSV Foundation Academy will prove inspirational and create a connection in Tongelre, which can spread further to the rest of the city.”
The Academy Centre
The PSV Foundation Academy will initially run for at least half a year. Afterwards, representatives of PSV, the PSV Foundation and aldermans of Eindhoven’s neighbourhoods will consult to further develop the strategic development of the Foundation Academy.
