Ajax kick off their quest to reach the main stage of the Conference League with a second qualifying round match against FK Vojvodina. The Dutch club automatically enters this qualifying round, while their Serbian counterparts have already been eliminated from the Europa League first qualifying round, leading them to this tournament. Despite being the most prominent club in Dutch football, Ajax's reputation has declined in recent years, and they narrowly avoided missing out on European competition. Finishing fifth in the Eredivisie, Ajax required penalties to defeat FC Utrecht in the playoff final, which ultimately led to the departure of interim manager Oscar Garcia. Now under the management of former Girona coach Michelis, Ajax aims to return to the Champions League and end a 32-year drought for a European title. The recent signings of Daley Blind, Caio Henrique, and Marcos Leonardo are expected to bolster their chances in this pursuit. Ajax has played four friendly matches prior to this encounter, starting with a 3-1 loss to Panathinaikos but wrapping up their pre-season with a 1-0 win against fellow Greek team Olympiacos. On the other hand, FK Vojvodina had aspirations for a deeper run in Europa League qualifying but faced Ferencvaros instead. Despite losing the first leg at home by a narrow 2-1 margin, Vojvodina was defeated 3-0 in the return leg in Hungary, resulting in their exit from the competition.
