WILLEMSTAD- May 5, 2022 – At a press conference, the Curaçao Tourist Board (CTB), together with the FFK federation, the Jong Holland soccer team, Kontentu Media Center and Call To Action Management (CTAM), shared details on the program planned for the visit of the Dutch AFC Ajax soccer team to Curaçao. With a season of both national and international successes under their belt, AFC Ajax will be in Curaçao from May 17 to 21, 2022. The program will be capped off with a friendly match. The team’s previous visit to Curaçao was in 2010, making this a good opportunity to reconnect. Since 2020, Curaçao has been an official partner of the Ajax team, and the Curaçao logo is prominently featured on the team’s shirt sleeves. During games, the island is also featured all around the stadium as well as on (inter)national television.

In the course of the visit, this successful collaboration between Curaçao and AFC Ajax in the area of sports will also acquire a more social element, through youth soccer clinics to continue to promote the development of local talent under our youths. The program also includes seminars for coaches and staff, an Ajax training event, and visits to the Johan Cruijff Court and Jong Holland’s facilities, among others.

On Friday, May 20, 8:00 p.m., the visit will be capped off with a friendly match between AFC Ajax and the Curaçao Team at the Ergilio Hato stadium (SDK). The Curaçao Team is made up of professional, European-based players with Curaçaoan roots, joined by members of the island’s current champion, the Jong Holland soccer team. The CTB and its partners warmly invite everyone on Curaçao to come and watch this momentous friendly match between AFC Ajax and the Curaçao Team.
