Exclude words with numbers from spellcheck in vim

Following a similar answer I would like to ignore words with numbers that are of the following format:

AB12
AB2
CD98
..

this is achieved with use of the following regex:

[A-Z]{2}\d{1,}

(regex101)

The syntax I'm trying:

:syn match ignoredCapitalWords +[A-Z]{2}\d{1,}+ contains=@NoSpell

does not seem to be generating the desired results as the words remain marked as potentially misspelled:

wrong misspelling highlight

How can I correctly used the previously generated regex to exclude the desired patterns from regex?

Php regex engine is not vim regex engine. When you doubt your syntax pattern is right just create a new buffer with desired contents and then use / command. The given pattern throws an error, you just have to escape each { character with backslash. So, the correct pattern is: [A-Z]\{2}\d\{1,}. Never used @NoSpell but the pattern works.
