The first training week under John Heitinga is in full swing. The Ajax squad is building up to their first friendly of the pre-season, set to take place this Saturday against Scottish side Hibernian. As part of the preparations, Ajax were back out on the training field on Friday — once again under sunny skies.
Ajax - Hibernian kicks off Saturday at 1 PM. The match will be broadcast live on Ajax's official channels.
Sean Steur has been named the greatest talent of Ajax’s youth academy for the 2024/2025 season. The midfielder was presented with the Abdelhak Nouri Trophy by Mohammed Nouri and Marijn Beuker. Steur succeeds Lucas Jetten as the award's recipient.
Remko Pasveer will remain between the posts in Amsterdam for at least one more season. Both the goalkeeper and the club were open to extending his stay. He has currently made 93 appearances for Ajax’s first team. "The most important thing is to keep improving as a team," said Pasveer. "And on a personal level, I want to play as much as possible and reach the milestone of 100 matches."
Adidas and Ajax present the new 2025/2026 away kit. Just like the recently launched home kit, the away kit features a subtle reference to the 750th anniversary of the city of Amsterdam. The city’s 'water' is used as design inspiration for the blue kit, as a symbolic tribute to the element that truly defines the city.
