Ajax chief executive Edwin van der Saru200b has said his side being denied the Eredivisie title is "understandable" after the league's season was ended without a champion on Friday.
The Eredivisie and second-tier Eerste Divisie both saw their 2019-20 seasons ended early due to coronavirus after prime minister Mark Rutte had previously banned all football matches until September 1.
As part of the decision, no champion was declared in either division and no teams will be promoted or relegated between the two leagues.
