Now all parties, Ajax, the municipality of Amsterdam, the family of Cruijff and the Amsterdam Arena have reached a definite agreement.
The new logo of the Johan Cruijff Arena will be revealed around April 25, the day that would have been Cruijff's 71st birthday. Cruijff, or Cruyff had his name is frequently spelled internationally, is considered the best Dutch player ever and was an icon for the Dutch club as player and coach.
"Johan Cruijff is the greatest footballer in the history of Ajax," Ajax general director Edwin van der Sar reacted in a press release. "He has helped Ajax become a big name both nationally and internationally. Wonderful to have the stadium named after him."
"We are happy with this news and that the moment the stadium will officially become the Johan Cruijjf Arena really has arrived," the family of Cruijff stated in a press release.
The Amsterdam Arena was opened on August 14, 1996. It is used for concerts and soccer matches and is the home of Ajax.
