Health status of Abdelhak Nouri

Overview

Nearly nine years after suffering a cardiac arrest during a 2017 friendly match, former Ajax footballer Abdelhak Nouri is showing signs of health improvement that have “exceeded medical expectations”.

According to his brother, Abderrahim Nouri, Abdelhak’s condition is stable. Although he remains in a state of reduced consciousness, unable to speak, and requires a wheelchair, the family believes he “hears and understands everything”. They have established a method of communication where he responds to simple mathematical questions by raising his eyebrows.

Abdelhak resides at his family home under 24-hour care. The family maintains a strong connection with Ajax, with club representatives visiting regularly. The player originally suffered severe brain damage due to oxygen deprivation following the incident in Austria.
