Ajax

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

Since its formation in 1900, Ajax have found a home at the Johan Cruijff Arena in the Netherlands, a spectacle calling generations of spectators and players alike. Their current playing squad boasts a rather respectable market value of approximately £145m, as quoted by Transfermarkt.

The present Ajax unit fields 18 players, with an average age teetering around 27 - perfectly striking a balance between the exuberance of youth and the calm of experience.

Ajax, at this stage of the season, are spreading their energy across three separate footballing contests. Their efforts in the Dutch Eredivisie have currently landed them the 5th spot. Alongside the domestic league, they find themselves embroiled in the second round of the KNVB Beker, a tournament brimming with its own challenges and charm. Then comes the illustrious Champions League, a saga where Ajax have marked their presence in the League Phase.

The endeavours, the struggle, the glory - all part of another chapter in Ajax's riveting narrative.
