Hassan Hamdy, Egypt's midfielder and 12th president of Al-Ahly, also attended the funeral of the titleholder.

Nour passed away on Thursday, during her sleep, at the age of 23 , just two weeks after claiming the Egyptian Super Cup with her club. Inspired by her mother Rawia Hamdy, the champion was completing her studies at the German University in Cairo (GUC) at the faculty of Applied Sciences and Arts.
