Matchday checklist: arrive early, bring ID, buy the match programme, watch substitutes warm up, note shirt numbers and positions, and take photos responsibly.

Key things scouts look for are decision speed, first touch, off-ball movement, defensive awareness, and willingness to press. Also check how players adapt when coach changes formation midgame.

Loan moves are common: clubs send players to smaller Dutch teams or foreign leagues to get senior minutes. Watch loan announcements—those moves often indicate which players Ajax trust to handle pressure.
