The duel between SC Telstar and AFC Ajax on January 11, 2026 at 14:30 in the BUKO stadium in Velsen-Zuid is one of those clashes that have a much greater meaning than just another match in the 18th round of Eredivisie. The home team Telstar has only recently stepped into the elite society of Dutch football and exactly such meetings against giants such as Ajax become a sort of test of maturity for the club, the city and the fans. Ajax, on the other hand, comes to Velsen-Zuid with an imperative of results after a period in which the club faces greater pressure from the public, changes on the bench and turbulent performances on the European scene, so every slip-up will be met with great criticism. In such a context, the interest for tickets is extremely high, because Telstar fans want to witness a potential surprise, while Ajax fans want to see how their team confirms the status of the favorite, so the sale of tickets for this duel is an important topic for everyone who plans the trip to the BUKO stadium. That is precisely why it is reasonable to secure your tickets on time and follow information about the purchase of tickets, because it is expected that the capacity of the stadium will be filled quickly, especially if the weather conditions are also favorable for football in the middle of January.

Telstar: white lions from Velsen-Zuid in elite company

SC Telstar is a club with a rich local tradition, founded in 1963 by the merger of professional sections of two neighboring clubs, and it owes the nickname “White Lions” to the distinctive white home kit of jerseys. They were for a long time a synonym for a modest, but tough first-league club in a lower rank, only to return to the highest class of Dutch football after a successful season and playoffs and thus attract new attention from the wider public. Entry into the Eredivisie brought additional momentum to the entire community in Velsen-Zuid, a small place distant only a few kilometers from Haarlem, where football days turn quiet streets into a white sea of fans. For Telstar fans, the meeting with Ajax is not only a sports event but also a symbol of the fact that after decades of patience they are again part of the strongest society, so it is understandable that tickets for such matches are especially sought after. Due to the limited capacity of the BUKO stadium, every fan who wants to be part of this story should think on time about the purchase of tickets and secure their tickets before the demand exceeds the supply.

Velsen-Zuid and the municipality of Velsen: football along the North Sea Canal

Velsen-Zuid is a settlement in the municipality of Velsen, located along the North Sea Canal which connects Amsterdam with the open sea, and exactly that combination of industrial heritage and proximity to the sea gives a special atmosphere to football days. The wider area of Velsen is traditionally connected with steelworks and ports, while the settlements themselves around the canal, including Velsen-Zuid, cherish a rich history that reaches back even to early medieval days. The arrival of Ajax fans from Amsterdam and other parts of the country turns local streets, cafes and surrounding squares into a lively backdrop ahead of big matches, so many visiting fans extend their stay in order to explore the wider region. That is precisely why quality accommodation is often sought near the stadium or in nearby cities, so it is worth checking on time the accommodation offers in the host city and coordinating them with the planned purchase of tickets. Those who come to the meeting from other parts of Europe often combine the football trip with a shorter journey through the Netherlands, which additionally increases the interest for tickets, especially for the time slot of a Sunday afternoon such as awaits Telstar and Ajax in the 18th round.

BUKO stadium: compact stadium of great noise

BUKO stadium, built way back in the middle of the 20th century and later repeatedly renovated, is a typical example of a compact Dutch stadium in which fans literally “hang” over the pitch. With a capacity of slightly more than five thousand spectators every sector is close to the field, so the players hear every reaction of the stands, from the first whistle of the referee to the last applause after the final referee's whistle. For Telstar fans such an arrangement of stands creates the impression that with their voice they can truly push the team, and the pressure that arises when the stadium is filled with tickets to the last place is awkward for every guest, and so also for Ajax which is accustomed to a large, but differently arranged audience in its arena. Due to the limited capacity it is not surprising that the sale of tickets for this duel starts very early, and the best places disappear fastest, so it is desirable to plan the purchase of tickets in advance before the trip to Velsen-Zuid. When planning the arrival, a part of the fans also looks at accommodation near the venue, so that they could calmly arrive at the stadium, avoid crowds and enter their sectors on time.

Ajax under pressure of results and great tradition

AFC Ajax comes to Velsen-Zuid as a club with one of the richest trophy cabinets in Europe, but also as a team that in recent seasons is experiencing periods of oscillations in the domestic championship and on the international scene. After they finished in the very top of the Eredivisie in the previous season and played a notable role in European competitions, in the current campaign the public vigilantly follows every drop in form and every change in the coaching staff, which creates additional pressure on the players. A series of poorer results in the Champions League and heavy defeats by European rivals led to changes on the bench and intense discussions about the direction in which the club is going, so every match, and even the visit to Telstar, gets additional weight. The meeting in Velsen-Zuid is therefore not just another step in a long season, but an opportunity for Ajax to show a reaction, impose its style of play and confirm that it still belongs to the very top of Dutch football. For fans who follow the club on away games, that is an ideal opportunity to buy tickets for this event, stand behind the team on hostile terrain and with their voice help Ajax to overcome a demanding period.

Stars, young talents and attractive football

One of the reasons why tickets for Ajax matches are almost always sought after lies in the philosophy of the club which combines experienced players and young talents from its academy and at the same time nurtures attacking, technically polished football. In the last seasons, fans could enjoy the games of attackers and offensively oriented midfielders who regularly finished among the best scorers and assistants of the league, and that is also expected from the squad that will run out against Telstar in the 18th round. On the other hand, the host builds the team on players eager to prove themselves, who give their maximum in every duel, so the fans at the BUKO stadium will see an interesting clash of more famous names and players who are just seeking a path towards the biggest scene. In such a combination of styles, open and substantial matches with many opportunities often arise, which additionally strengthens the motivation of fans to secure their tickets and be part of the atmosphere live. Tickets for this event are thus not only a ticket for the match, but also an opportunity to watch from the first row potential future stars who could already tomorrow play for the biggest European clubs.

Head-to-head ratio: Ajax dominant, Telstar seeks historic step forward

The history of mutual meetings clearly speaks that Ajax in this pair is the traditional favorite, because in several last competitive duels exactly the club from Amsterdam was the one that emerged as the winner, often with multiple goals scored. Cup matches in Velsen-Zuid and Amsterdam in previous years showed that Telstar knows how to score and create problems, but that the quality and width of the Ajax squad is nevertheless decisive in the long run, so the goals in the net of the White Lions arrived in key moments. Statistically looking, Ajax in the last clashes scored more goals than Telstar and managed to turn around even those meetings in which the host started well, which additionally strengthened the perception of Ajax as a great favorite also ahead of this championship clash. However, football is a sport of surprises, and Telstar's entry into the Eredivisie and the support of home fans change the dynamics – Ajax now comes on a visit to a first-division club that has learned to use the energy of the stands and that will try to write a new chapter in club history. Precisely because of the possibility to witness a historic victory or another convincing edition of Ajax, fans on both sides have an additional motive to secure their place on the stands by purchasing tickets on time.

Tactical clash: Ajax's pressure against Telstar's compact block

From a tactical point of view, it is expected that Ajax also in Velsen-Zuid will try to impose its game through high possession of the ball, rapid circulation and frequent changes of positions of attackers and midfielders, along with pressing as soon as it loses the ball. Telstar will, on the other hand, very likely seek a firm, compact block on its own half, along with fast transitions over the wings and attempts to use every insecurity of the visiting defense from set-pieces or counterattacks. For the spectators that means 90 minutes of intense rhythm, frequent duels and much tactical outsmarting in a small space, because the dimensions and arrangement of the stands of the BUKO stadium additionally reinforce the impression of pressure on the players. Such matches live always leave a stronger impression than a broadcast on television, so many fans, instead of following the match via screens, will rather buy tickets and personally experience every duel, complaint to the referee or celebration of a goal. Who plans a trip from other cities or countries, should simultaneously check also accommodation for fans on the match day, in order to coordinate the arrival, collection of tickets and entry to the stadium without rush on time.

Atmosphere on the stands and fan culture

One of the biggest assets of Telstar since it is again in the Eredivisie is the fact that the BUKO stadium very easily fills up to the last place, and the fans are known for creating a noisy, but sporting atmosphere, regardless of who comes to visit them. The domestic “White Lions” feel special excitement when giants arrive to them, and the arrival of Ajax means also that a part of the stands will be filled with visiting fans, whereby a colorful backdrop is created in which white and red-and-white colors alternate. For neutral football lovers, but also for families who are looking for a football trip, such matches are an ideal opportunity to experience the passion of fans without excessive tensions, because the Dutch football culture places emphasis on the common experience of the match. Since the capacity is limited, the sale of tickets and the arrangement of sectors for home and visiting fans are followed with attention, so it is important to know in advance where you want to sit and in which sector you want to cheer. Therefore it is recommended to buy tickets on time, instead of waiting for the last moment, because for such matches in a smaller city it is quite realistic to expect that tickets disappear days before the first referee's whistle.

Practical information for arrival and stay

Planning the arrival to the match in Velsen-Zuid begins with checking transport, arrival time and parking possibilities, especially for fans who come from Amsterdam, other Dutch cities or from abroad. Due to the proximity of larger transport hubs, arrival by train or bus to surrounding places, along with a shorter ride by local transport, is often simpler and faster than arrival by car, especially ahead of big matches when the streets around the stadium are additionally burdened. For those who want to use the weekend for a shorter stay, it is worth reviewing in advance accommodation near the venue, because the combination of football and a short vacation on the Dutch coast sounds like a perfect plan to many. In doing so, it is good to bear in mind that travel plans need to be coordinated with the time of playing the match, 14:30, so that the collection of tickets, passing through security checks and entry to the stadium pass without nervousness. When all that is arranged – from travel and accommodation to the purchase of tickets – it remains only for the fans to enjoy 90 minutes of football and an atmosphere that is often more impressive in smaller, but full stadiums than in much larger arenas.
