The Ajax women's football team will play against Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain, and AS Roma in the group stage of the Champions League. This was determined in a draw held at UEFA's headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland. At Paris Saint-Germain, Dutch players Jackie Groenen and Lieke Martens are under contract. Jill Baijings, also a Dutch international, plays for Bayern Munich.
Friday will be very crowded on and around the Johan Cruijff Boulevard. Oranje is playing against France, there are two big events in the Ziggo Dome and AFAS Live, and the recorded Taylor Swift Eras Tour is opening in the Pathe movie theater.
The Netherlands men’s football team was beaten by France in the Johan Cruijff arena on Friday in a qualifier for the European Championships of 2024. A Kylian Mbappe double gave France the lead. Quilindschy Hartman scored for Oranje. Manager Ronald Koeman gave two people their Oranje debut in the starting lineup. Feyenoord Left-Back Hartman and Brighton goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen got their first taste of international football. France knew that a win would officially qualify them for the Euros.
The pressure on Maurice Steijn is building as Ajax lost again on Sunday. The Amsterdammers lost 1-2 to AZ in the Johan Cruijff arena to make it seven games without a win. They go into the international break 16th in the Eredivisie. Maurice Steijn did not have Steven Berghuis and Josip Sutalo at his disposal. Both players are not fit and were replaced in the starting lineup by Amourricho van Axel Dongen and Jakov Medic. Ex-Ajax player Riechedly Bazoer returned for the Alkmaarders and started at Centre-Back.
