The 2025/26 squad is undergoing a rebuild, leaning heavily on breakout academy stars and key technical veterans.

• Composition: The attack is led by the young Belgian sensation Mika Godts, who is the club's top scorer with 15 goals this season. He is supported by the creative Oscar Gloukh and veteran midfielder Davy Klaassen, who serves as vice-captain. The squad also features international loanees like goalkeeper Vítězslav Jaroš (from Liverpool).
• Tactical Focus: Óscar García has returned the team to a more traditional 4-3-3 formation, focusing on positional play and high pressing. Despite some defensive lapses, such as a heavy 0-6 cup defeat to AZ in January, the team has shown improved fluidity in recent league outings.
• Key Stats: Ajax has one of the highest goal tallies in the league (57), but defensive consistency remains a challenge, having conceded 37 goals. Mika Godts has been the standout individual, leading the line in both domestic and European fixtures.
