Ajax and Maarten Stekelenburg have reached an agreement for the extension of his contract, which ran until June 30, 2021. The goalkeeper's contract will be extended by one year and now runs until June 30, 2022.
Ajax has secured the double with two games to go in the Eredivisie. So, what better time to look back on this past season with captain, Dusan Tadic: "We have shown that there is great solidarity within the whole club."
After an exceptional football year without supporters in the stadium, Ajax has decided to melt down its champion trophy and create over 42,000 small champion stars. From Wednesday onwards, each season ticket holder will receive their share of the champion trophy, or, as Ajax calls it: ‘a piece of Ajax’. This will allow the club to physically share the championship and the 35th trophy with fans.
