AFC Ajax prize winners

At the end of each season, Ajax has awarded their top player of the season, the top talent of the season, and the top prospect from their training ground De Toekomst (The Future) with the following awards. Since 1993, the AFC Ajax Player of the Year (Dutch: Ajacied van het Jaar) is awarded the Rinus Michels Award, the AFC Ajax Talent of the Year (Dutch: Talent van het Jaar) is awarded the Marco van Basten Award since 1994. The club's top prospect from the training ground, the Talent of the Future (Dutch: Talent van De Toekomst) has been awarded the Sjaak Swart Award since 1999.

In 2018 the Talent of the Future award was renamed the Abdelhak Nouri Award, in honour of Abdelhak Nouri in commemoration of the 'jewel of the training ground', almost a year after the player had suffered an arrhythmia attack in a pre-season friendly match against Werder Bremen.
