Erik ten Hag Insists Ajax Pitch Is in 'Very Good' Condition After 40,000 Attend Music Festival

Ajax manager Erik ten Hag has insisted there are no problems with the Johan Cruyff ArenA pitch ahead of his side's Champions League clash with Chelsea on Wednesday night.

Concern comes after the Amsterdam Music Festival music festival took place at Ajax's home ground as recently as Sunday night, with makeshift flooring laid on the pitch.

Speaking in his pre-match press conference, as quoted by the Daily Mail, ten Hag said: "It looks very good and in my opinion it’s fine to play."

Among the festival billing - attended by more than 40,000 people - were EDM acts Alesso, Tiesto and David Guetta.
