Ajax Open Day proved to be a success for young and old alike. With various activities for children at the ArenA Park, the launch of the third kit, player presentations for both the men’s and women’s teams, and an open training session in the Johan Cruijff ArenA, it was a memorable and well-rounded day in Amsterdam.
Ajax and adidas present the new third kit for the 2025/2026 season. Just like the recently introduced home and away kits, the third kit also pays tribute to the city of Amsterdam and its 750th anniversary.
