De Klassieker is just around the corner. Ajax face Feyenoord on Sunday afternoon from 14:30 in the Johan Cruijff ArenA. In the build-up to the two-hundredth edition, Fred Grim’s side held their final training session in the stadium.
Ajax – Feyenoord is coming up. A loaded fixture, always. Kasper Dolberg played several successful Klassiekers in his first spell at the club, and, since his return, he is fit and ready to shine in one of the most beautiful matches of the year. In a personal conversation with the Dane, we look ahead. "It's about pride and about being the better team. That tension is something you experience in very few places."
Ajax are fully focused on Sunday's Klassieker against Feyenoord. Head coach Fred Grim looked ahead to the clash with the Rotterdam side on Friday at the Johan Cruijff Arena, addressing the fitness of his squad and the team’s preparations for the match.
During De Klassieker weekend, we draw attention to Spieren voor Spieren, the foundation for which Louis van Gaal is an ambassador. The Ajacied is pleased with the support. "In football, you don’t want to sit on the bench. You want to take part, move, score and win, but there are children who are involuntarily sidelined because their muscles give up."
Ajax U19 will meet Legia Warszawa in the next round of UEFA Youth League. That was the outcome of Friday afternoon’s draw in Nyon. The tie will be an away match in the round of 32, scheduled for February 3 or 4, 2026
The new building for the players of Ajax Men and the Ajax Women first teams at De Toekomst has been completed. The brand-new facility at Ajax's training complex creates a more private zone for the club’s two first teams. "Our second home."
Ajax showed great resilience in Baku. Fred Grim’s side fell behind twice but fought back in the UEFA Champions League match in Azerbaijan. Thanks to goals from Kasper Dolberg, Oscar Gloukh (2), and Anton Gaaei, the game finished 2-4.
Ajax claimed their first victory in the League Phase of the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday evening. The Ajacieden beat Qarabağ FK 2-4 thanks to a strong late surge. The Amsterdam goals came from Oscar Gloukh (two), Kasper Dolberg and Anton Gaaei.
Sean Steur looked back on a wonderful evening. On Wednesday night, he made his debut in Ajax’s starting line-up and in the Champions League. What’s more, the young player even provided an assist in Europe’s premier club competition. "A very beautiful evening, something no one can ever take away from me," said the 17-year-old midfielder after the 2–4 victory away at Qarabağ FK. "When I stepped onto the pitch, I really thought: this is something I have to enjoy."
Anton Gaaei has a knack for scoring wonder goals as an Ajax player. In Baku, the Danish defender distinguished himself once again with a brilliant strike. "I train it a lot, that’s why I score these kinds of goals. When the ball came, I knew I had to try it and look for the far corner," said Gaaei, who was very relieved about the result. "I’m happy that we showed character, got off the mark, and are now playing a bit more as a team."
