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. The AJAX Academy Dubai’s mission is to develop talent for the future, with accessibility at its core.
