Ajax

Ajax were founded in 1900 and play their home games at Johan Cruijff Arena in Netherlands.

Since their founding in 1900, Ajax have taken to the field in the mighty Johan Cruijff Arena, nestled firmly on the Dutch soil. With the echoes of their footballing prowess resonating through the ages, the Amsterdam-based contingent continues to deliver enticing, top-drawer football.

The quality of the squad can be measured in more ways than one. Financially, the collective market value of the team is touted to be in the region of £156m, a fitting testament to the rich talent that floods their ranks, as reported on Transfermarkt.

A healthy balance of youthful vigour and seasoned expertise is struck within the Ajax squad, boasting an average age of 26, whilst the team size stands at a robust 19 members, each a cog in the larger Ajax machine.

In the current season thus far, Ajax have spread their nets wide, trialling their mettle in not just one, but two competitions. This includes a sturdy performance in the Eredivisie, where they hold a commendable 5th place standing, and a decent run in the Champions League, still at the League Phase.
