Ismael Saibari to Wear Number 34 at Bayern Munich in Tribute to Abdelhak Nouri
Newly signed FC Bayern Munich midfielder Ismael Saibari has chosen to wear the number 34 shirt for the 2026-27 season as a heartfelt tribute to his friend Abdelhak Nouri. Nouri, who wore the number 34 during his time at Ajax, suffered a cardiac arrhythmia on the pitch in 2017, leaving him with severe and permanent brain damage. Explaining his choice, Saibari stated that he wants to support Nouri, noting that while he survived, he has been unable to move without assistance since the tragic incident. By taking on Nouri's final squad number, Saibari joins a list of players across Europe who have honored the former Ajax talent.
