List of AFC Ajax players

Amsterdamsche Football Club Ajax (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈaːjɑks]), also referred to as AFC Ajax, Ajax Amsterdam or simply Ajax (after the legendary Greek hero), is a professional football club from Amsterdam, Netherlands.

Ajax is historically one of the most successful clubs in the world; according to the IFFHS, Ajax were the seventh most successful European club of the 20th century.[1] The club is one of the five teams that has earned the right to keep the European Cup and to wear a multiple-winner badge; they won consecutively in 1971–1973. In 1972, they completed the European 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. Ajax's last international trophies were the 1995 Intercontinental Cup and the 1995 Champions League, where they defeated Milan in the final; they lost the 1996 Champions League final on penalties to Juventus.

They are also one of three teams to win the treble and the Intercontinental Cup in the same season/calendar year;[2] This was achieved in the 1971–72 season.[3] Ajax, Juventus, Bayern Munich, Chelsea and Manchester United are the five clubs to have won all three major UEFA club competitions.[4] They have also won the Intercontinental Cup twice, the 1991–92 UEFA Cup, as well as the Karl Rappan Cup, a predecessor of the UEFA Intertoto Cup in 1962.[5]

This list includes past and present footballers who have played for Ajax.

List of players

edit

Players listed below with dual citizenship, are listed with their country of birth first, followed by their second citizenship, unless a player has represented one of their nations on an International level, in which case the team which they have played for is listed first, and their other nationality is listed second.

In some instances, three flags may be listed to represent a player's nationality. This is the case when a player is born in a country to parents of both different nationalities, which also differ from the country of their child's birthplace, however, the player represents his country of birth Internationally. An example of this would be Patrick Kluivert, who is Dutch and plays for the Netherlands national team, while his father is from Suriname, and his mother is from Curaçao. In these cases the paternal citizenship is listed second to the players' primary nationality, followed by the nation of the player's mother thirdly.

Players who were born in a foreign country, but do not hold citizenship of that nation, do not have the country of their birthplace listed below as their nationality, while some players have become naturalised citizens of a country, in which case it is listed as well.

Players with no league caps or goals may have made appearances in other competitions, as only league appearances and goals are being tallied in the list below.
