Field stormer Dylano K. is not welcome in the Philips Stadium until 2063, journalist Rik Elfrink reports in the Eindhovens Dagblad. The twenty-year-old hooligan from Roermond will not be welcome again at PSV for forty years. The punishment comes on top of the criminal sanction that K. received earlier. For his attack on Sevilla goalkeeper Marko Dmitrovic, K. received an unconditional prison sentence of two months from the judge.

PSV also wants to recover all damage suffered by the club from K.’s action against the attacker. With this, the people of Eindhoven want to send out a strong warning to prevent more such actions in the future. PSV itself will hear on March 29 what UEFA will hand out to the club as a punishment. Playing a European match without a home audience is possible, but even a year’s exclusion from UEFA tournaments is an option. PSV can eventually appeal against the sentence handed out.

In the final phase of the Europa League match between PSV and Sevilla (2-0 win), K. suddenly ran onto the field, after which he dealt a blow to Dmitrovic. The Roermonder has to grumble in jail for two months and is not welcome at his club for decades. In 2021 and 2022, K. already received community service twice for violations around football matches. K. did not want to tell the judge how he managed to enter the Philips Stadium against Sevilla. K. had a blood alcohol level of more than 1.6 when he was arrested: with an alcohol level of more than 0.5 you are no longer allowed to drive. For novice drivers this is 0.2.

The public prosecutor ruled on K.’s action on Wednesday, March 8, before he received his final sentence. “You go on the field with a drunken head, heavily under the influence. It is completely disrespectful to the player, the football club and the real supporters of PSV. You call yourself a football fan, but this has nothing to do with football.” In addition, it was indicated that the fact that K. had already received a penalty for football-related incidents was ‘significantly to his disadvantage’.
