No away fans at Ajax vs ADO Den Haag matches this season either

Visiting supporters remain banned from matches between Ajax and ADO Den Haag this Eredivisie season due to long-standing security concerns. The restriction has been in place for twenty years following a violent incident in 2006 and remains under review for future seasons.

For the current Eredivisie season, visiting supporters will again be banned from attending matches between Ajax and ADO Den Haag. This restriction has been in place for twenty years, originally implemented following a violent 2006 incident where Ajax hooligans attacked the ADO supporter home with weapons and a Molotov cocktail. Although authorities initially intended the ban to last five years, it has been repeatedly extended due to ongoing security concerns. A potential breakthrough in 2019 was blocked at the last minute by then-mayor Pauline Krikke, a decision later ruled unlawful by a court.

While ADO management recently expressed optimism regarding the improved infrastructure in Eredivisie stadiums following the club's promotion, the measures remain in effect for the time being. Club officials have confirmed that they are currently in discussions with all relevant stakeholders to evaluate the possibility of readmitting away fans for the following season. For now, the long-standing prohibition continues to prevent the attendance of traveling supporters at games between these two clubs.
