Ajax

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

Ajax, hailing from the Netherlands, was founded at the cusp of a new century in 1900. In the heart of the country, they host their adversaries in the architectural marvel known as the Johan Cruijff Arena.

Transfermarkt asserts that the collective value of the Ajax playing squad hovers around £156m, a testament to the immense talent they've gathered within their ranks.

At present, Ajax retains a compact, yet powerful contingent of 19 players. The mean age of this cohort is 26, stamping a favourable balance between seasoned footballing wisdom and unbridled youthful vitality.

The current footballing year witnesses Ajax showcasing their prowess in not one or two, but three competitions. They've held their own in the Eredivisie, securing the third position thus far, fought tooth and nail to make it to the second round of the KNVB Beker, and taken the fight to the best in the business in the League Phase of the Champions League. Time shall tell where these ventures lead.
