ACADEMY OVERVIEW

AFC Ajax Amsterdam has opened its first academy outside the Netherlands.

We chose the UAE to give the youth of Dubai the chance to follow the steps of Johan Cruyff, Matthijs De Ligt, Wesley Sneijder, Dennis Bergkamp, Marco van Basten, Edwin Van Der Sar and many more stars!

We brought three UEFA certified coaches, directly from the Youth Academy of Ajax Amsterdam to teach your children how to play football like a real Ajax Player.

Our goal is to teach our players to play the Ajax way. To learn about our principles and our style of play. To master the ball by learning signature moves from our current and former players. To learn about golden moves, the Cruyff Qualities, to understand the game and to become a creative master of the ball.

We do this by providing our players with a lot of individual attention in our attacking style of play.

We want to win long term by focusing on the players’ development. We encourage our players to be brave and to be able to easily adapt to every different situation.

At Ajax, we always aim for the highest. We don’t buy legends, we create them! That’s exactly what we are going to do here, in the UAE as well. Getting the most out of every player in their abilities and potential to become the best version of themselves.

Ajax Academy Dubai is available in Dubai, to boys and girls, 5 to 15 years old.
