Controversy Surrounds Ajax’s Decision to Omit Club Doctor for Jong Ajax Away Matches

Marijn Beuker has caused quite a stir in Amsterdam with a controversial decision: due to directives from management, a club doctor will no longer accompany Jong Ajax on away matches.

Henk Spaan, a writer for Het Parool, finds this decision perplexing. “It is understandable that Ajax needs to cut costs, even for someone with dyscalculia. However, should this also apply to the medical side of operations? When I inquired with Ajax about the claim that, following a measure implemented by Marijn Beuker, no doctor would accompany Jong Ajax, their response confirmed that the hours allocated to doctors have indeed been reduced,” stated Spaan.
