Ajax Amsterdam's women's team will not be honoured with a public celebration in the Dutch capital on Monday despite claiming the Eredivisie title, as club officials fear the poor performance of the men's team this season will solicit a lukewarm response.

The Ajax women's team secured their third league title almost three weeks ago, and club officials believe the moment to mark the achievement has passed.Ajax are concerned any public celebrations would be muted given the poor performance of the men's side,"which would not be good for the image of women’s football".

"The lack of a celebratory mood around Ajax in general, which is linked to the performance of the men’s team this season, played a part in the decision," the Ajax spokesman continued."Unfortunately, without the cooperation of the club, the mayor and the alderman see no possibility to organise a successful ceremony this season," city officials said in a statement.
