Ajax’s Path to Champions League Qualification

omidbasir- Ajax must work diligently this season to secure a spot in the Champions League. To achieve this, they need to overcome strong competitors such as Feyenoord and NEC, especially with league leaders PSV currently ahead by a significant margin.

Freek Jansen, a journalist from Voetbal International, expresses optimism about Ajax’s chances of swiftly reestablishing themselves at the top of the Eredivisie. In the Pak Schaal Podcast, he notes that returning to the top may not be as difficult as it seems, alluding to last year’s experience. “Things can change quickly. If you appoint a good coach, you can find yourself back at the top in no time,” he remarked.

However, Jansen emphasizes a crucial prerequisite for Ajax to take the necessary steps toward success: participation in Champions League football. He points out that the financial gap between the Champions League and the Europa League is significant. “You need to be connected to the Champions League; otherwise, you risk falling behind for the foreseeable future,” he concluded.
