AFC Ajax will face Sint-Truidense VV in the League Phase of the Conference League. The match is scheduled for Thursday 10 December 2026 at 21:00 at the Stayen, STVV's home ground.
The Amsterdam side currently sits ninth in the Eredivisie with four points from two matches. They have one win and one draw, with a goal difference of +2 (four scored, two conceded). This leaves Ajax eight points behind leaders AZ Alkmaar. The next major test is the home fixture against second-placed PSV Eindhoven on 5 September.
The clash with STVV is the first to be confirmed in the new Conference League League Phase. For Ajax, it means a relatively short trip to Belgium in December. It's an opportunity to pick up points early in a competition where the club has ambitious targets. The current Eredivisie form, with a recent draw and a win, needs to be translated into European confidence.
The 10 December date falls in the middle of a congested period for Ajax. The match against PSV on 5 September comes first, followed by several Eredivisie fixtures. The Conference League game then follows, demanding good squad rotation and player fitness. The physical condition of the player group will be a key factor.
Ajax has had a mixed start to the season. The four points from two games are below expectations, and the eight-point gap to AZ is significant. The goal difference of +2 indicates there is work to do both in attack and defence. The coming weeks, with PSV and European preparations, will be key for building momentum.
