Ajax fans block highway and damage team bus ahead of Feyenoord clash

Before the match against Feyenoord, Ajax supporters staged a dangerous show of support by taking to one of the Netherlands' main highways. The incident occurred on the A4 near Hoofddorp, where a large group of fans walked onto the road to greet the team bus as it made its way to Rotterdam for the highly anticipated rivalry match.

The fans lit flares and tried to get as close as possible to the players' bus. Meanwhile, another group of supporters gathered at the Johan Cruyff Arena to see the team off, banging on the bus and causing minor damage, as confirmed by a club spokesperson. The fans' actions led to significant traffic jams on the A4, but the team bus managed to avoid any more serious incidents.
