Amsterdamsche Football Club Ajax also referred to as AFC Ajax, or simply Ajax is a professional football club from Amsterdam, Netherlands. The club is historically one of the three clubs that dominate the Dutch national football league (Eredivisie), the other two being Feyenoord and PSV.

Ajax is one of the five teams that has earned the right to keep the European Cup; they won consecutively in 1971-1973. In 1972, they completed The Treble by winning the Dutch Eredivisie, KNVB Cup, and the European Cup; to date they are the only team to keep the European Cup and accomplish the European Treble , also AFC Ajax are one of the only two teams (with Manchester United in 1999) to win the The Treble and the Intercontinental Cup in the same season/calender year, this was achieved in the legendary 1971/72 season. They are also one of only three clubs (with Juventus and Bayern Munich) to have won all three major European trophies at least once (the European Cup, the European Cup Winners' Cup and the UEFA Cup). They were the first team to win what has become the UEFA Intertoto Cup. Ajax has also won the Intercontinental Cup twice.

Right, to try and help those playing as Ajax or those that want to try Ajax for the first time im going to compile a little guide to the current squad and areas to strengthen etc.

I'll post this up soon.

Is the no. 14 shirt avalible for selection?

ClarenceZico

Yes, those numbers are the current squad roster and their squad numbers. Why?

throughbeingcool

From Wikipedia:

Number 14
As of the following season (2007-08), no player will wear the number 14 shirt at Ajax, since the club decided to retire the shirt in respect to formidable legend, Johan Cruijff, who presented his number for his 60th Birthday, though Cruijff said that it should be better if the best player of the team would wear number 14. Spanish midfielder Roger was the last player to wear the number.

DjFeyenoord

Good challenge to get European football with them great,great...

throughbeingcool

What's the budget at the beggining?

ClarenceZico

To win European football with them

Are you going to be playing as Ajax, DjFeyenoord?

DjFeyenoord

Well, I don't think so. I'll begin with a big club, like Real Madrid or so, and then Arsenal, and then just a little worse every time I start a new game. I don't know yet with wich Dutch club I'll play. I guess Feyenoord.
