Ajax Denied Title As Eredivisie Ends Season Without promotion, Relegation

Ajax have been denied the Eredivisie title despite the league’s announcement that current standings will be recognised as final.

The Eredivisie has ended the league’s season following an announcement from prime minister Mark Rutte that stated that all matches are forbidden until the September.

As a result, the current table has been made final, although Ajax will not be awarded the title for finishing first.

The decision to finalise the table was made after UEFA asked the Dutch federation to maintain the current standings to decide which teams are awarded spots in European competition.

Ajax will head straight to the last round of Champions League qualification despite being level on points with AZ Alkmaar, who will enter in the second round of qualifiers.
