Edwin van der Sar, Ajax’s Marketing Director: ,,ABN AMRO wants to support the development of talent in the Netherlands. That fits perfectly with our ambitious plans for the Toekomst. For me, it’s a nice coincidence that I had so much success with Ajax during the time that ABN AMRO was the main sponsor. Ajax and ABN AMRO have known each other for years and I’m pleased that we will be working together closely once again.”
Ernst Boekhorst, Sponsoring Manager at ABN AMRO: ,,Ajax’s youth academy is famous in the international football world. We’re proud that the name ABN AMRO will be connected to ‘de Toekomst.’ This partnership is a perfect fit for ABN AMRO’s sponsorship policy, in which talent development and building social partnerships play a key role.”
