I thought one in Ghana.
Definetly GBA and Ajax Cape Town (South Africa)
And Haarlem still I guess.
We are busy trying to dump GBA.
The satellite teams are for a part responsible of Ajax big loss.

Harlem?

Be more exsact.

Whay isn´t Ajax present in teritory of ex-Jugoslavija, if we know, how manj talnted players we have here, and are now stars:
Mateja kežman, Stankoviè, Mihajloviè, Miloševiè, Kovaèeviè, Boban, Prosineèki, Šuker, Zahovilè itd. Ok, some are a bit old, but they were all playing at the biggest european clubs,... On other side, is probably cheeper to have club in little retarded country, or az least poor. Why not then also in Argentine, where truly are the biigest stars?

Because club ownership is expensive, Ajax made a record loss this year, this is why we try to sell the GBA shares to a new owner. (Answer also to PopA)
Big stars are all over the world where soccer is played, Belgium BTW isn`t a poor country. We aren`t rich enough to buy teams up like that. Can`t be hard to understand.

But why Ghana and RSa?

[soccer fanatic]

Because there are a lot of potentially good players out there.
Price could be also a reason.
Perhaps to improve life in those countries, for a very small part ofcourse.
Perhaps the climate?

I'm sure it must be much cheaper in those countries to set up a youth squad/format. Also, a club with the reputation and finances of Ajax surely has much more to offer to potential stars than the other clubs there.
