FC Volendam has the opportunity to thank Ajax for their assistance during the playoff matches for European football. Ajax had to move to the KRAS Stadion of FC Volendam because the Johan Cruijff Arena was unavailable. This occurred while Harry Styles was performing at Ajax's stadium. The Amsterdammers now want to plan a special friendly match against FC Volendam. This match would take place in Volendam, and FC Volendam would keep the full proceeds from the game. It is not yet confirmed that the friendly match will take place, but reports suggest it is 'virtually certain'. Ajax is starting the season early, with the first leg of the second qualifying round of the Conference League scheduled for July 23. This makes the friendly match against FC Volendam particularly important for both clubs.
