Ajax are heading into the final stretch of the VriendenLoterij Eredivisie. Four matches remain on the schedule. The final phase of the competition begins on Saturday 25 April with an away match against NAC. As the cup final is scheduled for this weekend, Ajax will therefore play a friendly against FC Twente on Thursday. A day earlier, Ajax trained at De Toekomst to be fully prepared for this practice match.
At sports complex De Toekomst, the Ajacieden held a training session on Wednesday afternoon on pitch 14, next to the A2 and overlooking the impressive new home of the Ajax players and the Ajax Women.
In sunny conditions, the Ajacieden prepared for the friendly against FC Twente, which can be watched live on the Ajax channels. The friendly kicks off on Thursday at 14:00.
With three goals and a clean sheet, Ajax returned from Almelo on Saturday evening with three points in the bag. The clash with Heracles unfolded smoothly for the Amsterdam side and saw Steven Berghuis shine with two goals. In his slipstream, Lucas Rosa played a perhaps less obvious but very positive role. In this edition of Ajax Insights, we take a closer look at his statistics. Ajax Insights is developed by Team Rockstars IT.
With two goals, captain Steven Berghuis played an important role in Saturday evening’s 0-3 victory away at Heracles. Berghuis made it 0–2 and 0–3 after Mika Godts had already opened the scoring.
Stunning goals, packed stands, young talent from across Europe, and Ajax legends at de Toekomst, that was the 2026 Olympia Future Cup, all captured in just over twenty minutes. From the very first whistle of this fourteenth edition of the prestigious youth tournament, we followed the home team: Ajax U17. "This is our own home. We decide what happens here!"
