In honour of the five-hundredth European match against Inter, this special edition looks back on Ajax’s rich European history. From the legendary trilogy of the 1970s to the Champions League triumph in Vienna and the gala performance at the Bernabéu. European magic at a glance.
Since this summer, football friends Lucas Rosa and Raúl Moro have been reunited in Ajax's white-red-white. Rosa is often to be found in the centre of Amsterdam, and this time he takes Moro along to a few highlights in the capital. Along the way, we get to know both players better and look ahead to the start of the UEFA Champions League.
The UEFA Youth League is back in Amsterdam. On Wednesday, Ajax U19 kick off the prestigious tournament at home against their peers from Inter. We spent an entire day closely following Paul Nuijten's team. From start to finish. From their arrival to the individual meetings, and from lunch to the training sessions on the pitch. Watch the exclusive footage here.
With a pretext, Sjaak Swart was recently lured to the Royal Theatre Carré. In the majestic cultural temple, Mister Ajax was met with a huge surprise. To mark his 75th anniversary as an Ajacied, none other than Youp van ’t Hek treated the lifelong Ajax man to a unique performance: an intimate one-man show, written especially for Swart (87), who has been a member of Ajax since September 11, 1950.
Ajax trained on Thursday in the run-up to Saturday’s home match against PEC Zwolle. For Kasper Dolberg and James McConnell it was a session with a special touch. The new signings were on the training pitch with the group for the first time.
With FC26 just around the corner, the new ratings for the Ajax squad have been revealed. Youri Baas, Owen Wijndal, Mika Godts and Jorthy Mokio, guided by host Hein, go head-to-head as they try to guess both their own ratings and those of their teammates in FC26.
Kasper Dolberg is an Ajacied once again. Following the international break with Denmark, the striker travelled to Amsterdam to report to his (new) teammates. The Ajax player left six years ago as a 21-year-old boy and now returns at the age of 27 as a man. "You grow as a person, and I have a bit more self-confidence."
It’s a celebration every year: the kit distribution for Ajax’s youth. Hein was there when the very youngest Ajacieden came to collect their gear for the new season. The event was marked by big smiles and plenty of excitement. “Their eyes light up and you can see them thinking: wow, do we really get all of this?”
On Tuesday evening, the transfer window closed for Dutch clubs. At the very last moment, Danish striker Kasper Dolberg was brought back to Amsterdam. Technical Director Alex Kroes takes us through the process and the hectic nature of the past few months. "The squad is balanced."
Powerful and high, subtle and precise. Kasper Dolberg scored his Ajax goals from every angle and in every way imaginable. Now he is back in Amsterdam, back at the place where he made his professional debut. In his first spell in Amsterdam, Dolberg netted 45 goals. Here they all are. Sit back and enjoy.
He scored 56 times for Ajax's first team. Brian Brobbey found the net on his debut against Fortuna, in the title-winning match against sc Heerenveen, in clashes with Feyenoord and PSV, and more than once in the tense closing stages of a game. Here are all the goals of the departing striker in Ajax 1.
Brian Brobbey departs with a smile and a tear. With his move to the English Premier League a dream comes true, but it is also difficult for the striker to leave Ajax. "It is very hard to leave, but life goes on," says the new Sunderland player. "Ajax is Ajax and will forever remain in my heart."
