History

De Herdgang was built in 1952. [4] [5] The word ‘herdgang’ originates from triangular squares that marked the end of dirt roads. These spots were used as locations where herds of sheep could graze, with ‘herd’ referring to a herd of animals and ‘gang’ being Dutch for ‘way’ or ‘process’. [6] In April 2002, PSV started work on a renovation of the training facilities: a new indoor training hall, a fitness centre, offices and a canteen were added. The construction works were completed in April 2003. [7] Several months later, the youth facilities were also renewed; an idea spearheaded by Guus Hiddink. [5] As a consequence of financial problems at PSV, the ground under De Herdgang was sold to the Eindhoven municipality in a leasehold estate construction in 2011. The facilities remained property of PSV, the second Dutch sports club with over 2 million followers on social media. [8]

Facilities

De Herdgang accommodates the training sessions of PSV and all matches and training sessions of the youth and amateur teams. [7] It is located outside of the Eindhoven urban area in woodland surroundings. [4] [9] De Herdgang consists of seven football fields, including a synthetic field. [7] The main field can hold up to 2,500 spectators. [10] [11] The surrounding training facilities include a tennis lane, dressing rooms, a bar and a fitness centre. [7] The available offices are used by the PSV scouting, medical staff and youth academy. [4] Every year, De Herdgang is the host of the Otten Cup, an international tournament organized by PSV for under-19 teams. [12]
