The third edition of the Johan Cruyff Shield (
Dutch: Johan Cruijff Schaal) was held on 16 August 1998 between
Ajax, who had won both the
1997–98 Eredivisie and the
1997–98 KNVB Cup, and
PSV Eindhoven, who had finished as runners-up in the 1997–98 Eredivisie (and, coincidentally, also in the 1997–98 KNVB Cup). PSV won the match 2–0.[1][2][3]
