After a few years of absence, another Ajax reunion finally took place. During the home match against Sparta, many former Ajax celebrities like Sjaak Swart, Heinz Stuy, Jari Litmanen, Sunday Oliseh and Ray Clarke were present. The Ajacieden greeted each other with a smile and a hug. "Without these people, Ajax wouldn't be what it is today."
Ajax won their last but one league cup match of 2023 Saturday evening. Sparta Rotterdam lost 2-1 at the Johan Cruyff ArenA. The Amsterdam team's goals both came before half time, from Brian Brobbey and Steven Bergwijn. Less than fifteen minutes into the second half, Ajax tried again, but it was not to be.
John van 't Schip appeared before the cameras after winning 2-1 against Sparta. The manager was delighted with the victory, but also felt the Ajax team lacked focus in front of the goal. "We missed a number of opportunities in the first half. I saw some attacks where we got it together inside the box but failed to score. Had we done so, we might have gone into half time with a stronger lead. The goals we did score were good, but we should have taken advantage of a few more opportunities."
It's the ideal activity right before, during or after the holidays: a visit to our short-term stadium tour, 'The Golden Trilogy'. This past May, it was fifty years since Ajax won the third consecutive Europa Cup I. That is why we, from December 19th until January 7th, would like to pay special attention to this unique period in the club's history. And you can be there!
