Ajax Cape Town confirm intention to change their name to Cape Town Stars

In the wake of the announcement by Ajax Amsterdam that they are parting ways with the South African-based franchise, Ajax Cape Town, the Urban Warriors have announced their revival plans on Tuesday.

According to a statement released by the Ikamva-based outfit, the club will be named Cape Town Stars as of October 1, but that depends on the approval from the Premier Soccer League (PSL).

The National First Division (NFD) side announced on Monday they had acquired the majority 51% shares owned by Ajax Amsterdam, thus offering chairman Ari Efstathiou sole ownership of the team.
