Telstar v Ajax: Full lineups confirmed as Marc-Andre ter Stegen named in Ajax XI for Eredivisie Matchday 4
Telstar will host Ajax at Sportpark Schoonenberg in Velsen-Zuid on Matchday 4 of the Eredivisie 2026-27 season on Sunday, August 30, 2026, with full lineups released and Marc-Andre ter Stegen included in Ajax's starting XI.
Both clubs published their starting XIs and substitute benches ahead of the fixture, which pits the visitors against a promoted Telstar side. Ajax arrive on a 13-match unbeaten run but have managed only one victory from their two opening league fixtures, having beaten PEC Zwolle before drawing 2-2 at home with SC Heerenveen. De Godenzonen are once again the favourites to lift the Dutch league title and progressed through the UEFA Conference League play-offs with a 9-5 aggregate win over FC Sion. The club’s early-season results and their play-off aggregate were confirmed in the match preview.
Telstar opened their Eredivisie campaign with a 2-1 away win at NEC Nijmegen but followed that with a 3-1 home defeat to Sparta Rotterdam. Those outcomes leave the White Lions sitting 13th in the league table after two rounds of domestic action. The host side will field a lineup aiming to respond to their mixed start to the season.
Telstar starting XI: Ronald Koeman Jr.; Sem Valk, Marvin Peersman, Abdelnour Soualhia; Geralld Alders, Nils Rossen, Tyrone Owusu, Jeff Hardeveld; Rui Mendes, Patrick Brouwer; Jelani Seedorf. Bench: Finn Mulder (gk), Dann Reiziger (gk), Prince Aning, Emirhan Demircan, Harrie Kuster, Nigel Ogidi Nwankwo, Gabi Caschili, Fabiano Rust, Fofin Turay, Noach Shenkman, Rojendro Jeveraino Oudsten.
