WILLEMSTAD - Curaçao will 'analyze internally' Ajax's shirt sponsorship. Only after this analysis will they make further statements about what the government will do. This is according to the Minister of Economic Development, Ruisandro Cijntje.
Director of football affairs Marc Overmars resigned on Sunday after it became known that he had sent indecent images and messages to female colleagues for a longer period of time.
Since 2020 Ajax has been playing with the name 'Curaçao' on its sleeve. At the time, Curaçao signed this contract for three years. The objective then was to advertise the island and thus attract tourists to Curaçao.
The choice to keep a close eye on developments was previously made by other main sponsors such as Ziggo, Adidas and ABN Amro. Former Minister of Economic Development Giselle McWilliam, who was involved in concluding the sponsorship contract in 2020, says that Curaçao should keep a close eye on developments.
