PSV EINDHOVEN FANS TO SEE CLUB'S SUPERLEAGUE FORMULA ENTRY
PSV Einhoven football fans will get the chance to see their
entry into the Superleague Formula championship for the first
time when the club’s livery is officially revealed at
Philips Stadium tomorrow.
The red and white car will be unveiled in spectacular fashion
outside of the club’s home ground – descending
from high above the stadium to be presented to the devoted
Dutch fans.
The car will later be pushed onto the centre of the pitch
where the entire PSV 2007/08 playing squad will get to see
their club’s colours adorning the 750 horsepower, V-12
powered single seater.
The PSV event is the second major public event for Superleague
Formula. Last month, German fans of Borussia Dortmund got
to see their club’s car at Signal Iduna Park –
Germany’s largest football stadium.
PSV Eindhoven was one of the original four clubs announced
at the launch of the new championship that will capture the
passion of international football with the excitement of world-class
motorsport.
The Dutch club will be joined by Italian Champions League
winners, AC Milan; Portugal champions, FC Porto; Greek champions,
Olympiacos; Belgium champions, RSC Anderlecht; Borussia Dortmund
and the recently announced Brazilian greats, Flamengo.
By the time the first race kicks off in August 2008, a total
of more than 20 top class clubs from throughout the world
will be represented on the grid.
Tomorrow’s unveiling will take place at PSV Eindhoven’s
annual open day, an event expected to attract more than 25,000
spectators.
PSV Eindhoven General Manager Jan Reker believes the unveiling
of the club’s Superleague Formula entry will provide
a unique attraction for the club’s fans.
“Since we announced our participation in Superleague
Formula, we have received a lot of positive response from
our fans,” Reker said.
“Everybody wants to know who is going to run our team
and who will drive the car. That news will come in the near
future, but we want to ensure our fans get to see a very spectacular
unveiling tomorrow.
“Our open day is a great family event – adding
Superleague Formula to our open day is an added bonus for
supporters of PSV Eindhoven.”
PSV Eindhoven’s open day kicks off at 2.00pm tomorrow.
Apart from the Superleague Formula unveiling, the day will
also include family attractions, live DJ, stadium tours and
the official presentation of the 2007/08 playing squad.
“We are delighted to introduce the PSV fans to the
Superleague Formula championship. Tomorrow’s event will
certainly be spectacular and we are certain the Dutch fans
are going to be very excited about our championship,”
Superleague Formula CEO and President, Alex Andreu said.
“When we introduced the concept of Superleague Formula
to PSV, they were clearly recognised the opportunities our
championship provides in expanding their brand.
“We believe the Netherlands market will be a key component
of our fan base.”
