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.

Career

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

In 2016, Abdel-Aziz changed his position from setter to opposite hitter in his club Stade Poitevin Poitiers. He has since then continued his volleyball career as an opposite in both clubs and the Dutch National Team.

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.

Personal life
