Ajax is excited to announce a partnership with technology company Plankk. Plankk will develop an Ajax youth player development app, to launch first in North America. Ajax and Plankk will jointly build a digital training product and will work together to create an innovative way to develop soccer players.
The app will introduce North American soccer players to the worldwide known Ajax training philosophy, which has been consistently ranked among the best in the world. This enables soccer players to experience the successful education Ajax players receive and apply these methods to their own careers. This new partnership will further shape the expansion of Ajax within the North American market.
