Ajax had a convincing victory last Thursday night when defeating FK Vojvodina, thereby gaining the right to face Shelbourne FC, the team that overcame Nomme JK Kalju from Estonia in two matches. RTÉ Sport praised Ajax with the words: "Their reward was a match against European giants Ajax, who beat FK Vojvodina with a total score of 8-2". Notably, Shelbourne will play the first leg at home at Tolka Park, although the stadium does not meet the standards to host the match in the third qualifying round of the tournament, which has been approved by UEFA for the match to be a true "home" match.
Other media in Ireland also expressed admiration for Ajax. The42 wrote: "Shelbourne is preparing for a prestigious European match against Ajax, the famous Dutch team, next week." Ajax, as four-time European Cup winners, overcame Vojvodina 8-2 on aggregate (4-1 in the first leg) and advanced to the third qualifying round of the Conference League. They will face Shelbourne next Thursday, August 6, in Amsterdam, while the return leg will take place next week, on August 13, at Tolka Park.
Irish Independent has also given a financial view and is looking forward to the match with Ajax. They said: "Financially, Shelbourne's revenue is now up to €900,000, but the opportunity for the club to meet the 1995 European champions at the Johan Cruijff Arena - which has a capacity of 55,000 spectators - is something that both players and fans will relish." This is truly a remarkable event for Shelbourne and Irish football, as they have the opportunity to face one of Europe's top teams.
What happens next
Shelbourne will play the first leg at home at Tolka Park on August 6, before returning to Amsterdam for the return leg on August 13. Both matches will be crucial in defining both teams' seasons, especially for Ajax, who are aiming to progress in the UEFA Conference League.
