The Ziraat Bankkart volleyball club announced on its official Facebook page that one of the greatest players from the Netherlands, Nimir Abdel-Aziz, is training with the Turkish team. A photo of the star was also uploaded with the announcement, clearly showing him actively participating in the club's training process.

According to the text, the Dutch opposite also met with young talents from Ziraat Bankkart's infrastructure, sharing his experience and giving valuable advice for their development as professional volleyball players. The atmosphere was described as warm and inspiring, concluding with a group photo for a keepsake.

The fact that Nimir is not with the Netherlands squad during the 'Tulips'' preparation for the World Championship in Manila, but instead is training in Turkey, suggests that the opposite will most likely not participate in the championship.

This is a serious blow to the ambitions of the Dutch national team, as Nimir Abdel-Aziz has been the leading figure and main scorer for the team in recent years. His absence would significantly reduce the 'Tulips'' chances in the upcoming competition.
