PSV and Go Ahead Eagles will square off in the 2025 Johan Cruyff Shield at Philips Stadion on Sunday. Lampen lifted the Eredivisie title last season and hence, will get to host this match. The pride of the IJssel Kowe are making their debut in the annual game, after lifting their maiden KNVB Cup last season.
The hosts will play in the Johan Cruyff Shield for the fifth consecutive season. They finished as the runners-up last season and will look to improve upon that record. They went unbeaten in the preseason and overcame local rivals Eindhoven FC 3-2 earlier this week. Ricardo Pepi bagged a brace, and Guus Til also scored in the first half.
The visitors had a busy preseason and took part in 10 friendlies last month. They played Al-Duhail and Apollon Limassol on Saturday. After a win over Al-Duhail, they fell to a 2-0 loss to Apollon.
