Ajax, nicknamed Urban Warriors, played their first official game against Kaizer Chiefs in the Iwisa Charity Spectacular on 17 July 1999. Ajax caused an upset when they beat Chiefs 1–0 with Sam Pam, the Ajax Cape Town captain, scoring the winning goal. Former South Africa national team coach Gordon Igesund, the country's most successful club coach,〔(Soccer in South Africa )〕 who won league titles with Manning Rangers, Orlando Pirates, Santos and Sundowns, coached the club from 2002 until 2006. Since coming into existence, Ajax has never won the league title with their highest finish being runners-up in 2003-04 and 2011-12. Ajax managed to win the Rothmans Cup in 2000, the Nedbank Cup in 2007 and most recently the Telkom Knockout in 2008. In January 2007 Ajax CT managed to beat AFC Ajax 3–1 in a friendly game held in Cape Town. The next friendly, played in Amsterdam, ended in a 3–2 win for AFC Ajax in July 2009. Over the years several Ajax CT players have made the step to the mother club, among them Steven Pienaar in 2002, Daylon Claasen in 2009, Eyong Enoh in 2008 and Thulani Serero in 2011. In July 2013, following an abysmal 2012–13 campaign which saw Ajax Cape Town going through four managerial changes and just nearly escaping relegation, it was announced that George and John Comitis, longtime shareholders of the club, had sold their shares of the club back to AFC Ajax and that George would step down as the chairman of the club. Ari Efstathiou was announced as the new chairman, and Muhsin Ertuğral was reinstated as manager of the club, following an interim managerial period after originally being hired as the clubs new technical director. In September 2015, Ajax won the 2015 MTN8 tournament edging Kaizer Chiefs 1-0 in the final. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ajax Cape Town F.C.」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
