It is not the best season for Ajax: they were eliminated from the Europa League and are 5th in the Eredivisie. To make matters worse, last Thursday they suffered a very tough defeat: they lost 3-2 against USV Hercules, a fourth division and amateur team, for the round of 32 of the Netherlands Cup. And after the fall, the club itself decided to return the money for the tickets to each fan who was present and the Galgenwaard stadium in Utrecht.
Everything came to light from an email that was sent to Ajax fans through Ajax Life, the club’s official supporters association. “Due to the poor performance of our team, they undoubtedly experienced the Hercules-Ajax match as painful. We share that pain and are deeply ashamed,” said the beginning of the message.
Then, the reason that came with the message appeared: it was chosen to return the money to all the fans who had traveled to Utrecht to see the game. “After consultation with the playing group and technical staff, it has been decided that all visiting fans who have purchased a ticket will be compensated. This means that we will refund your match ticket and bus travel,” the rest of the text mentioned. .
The information was later confirmed by Nu, a Dutch digital newspaper, which claimed to have corroborated the information with a club source. “The amount paid for this will soon be in your account. This compensation does not erase the memory of the painful evening, but doing nothing was not an option. Thank you for your unconditional support,” the message concluded.
Now, the only thing left for Ajax, apart from improving its position in the Eredivisie, is Conference League, since they finished third in Group B of the Europa League, a position that sent them to that competition. Over there, They will play the round of 32 against Bodo Glimt of Norway, with the intention of at least rebounding in that tournament.
