Nimir Abdel-Aziz

Nimir Abdel-Aziz (born 5 February 1992) is a Dutch professional volleyball player who plays as an opposite spiker for Halkbank Ankara and the Netherlands national team.

National team
Abdel-Aziz made his debut as the setter for the Dutch national team in 2011 against Belgium. He won the European League in 2012, after beating Turkey in the final.

Position change

During the 2020–21 CEV Champions League, he had to briefly play the setter role after both of the lined up setters were not available to compete in the pool play due to the COVID-19.
