Growing up, Salah played football in the streets of his hometown, dreaming of one day making it big. The Egyptian football league had experienced a tragedy where 74 people were killed and 500 injured at Port Said Stadium when a riot broke out after Al Masry fans stormed the stadium stands and the pitch following a 3–1 victory by their club and violently attacked Ahly fans. This suspended the league for two years and really effected football in Egypt. His talent was evident from an early age, and he quickly rose through the ranks of Egyptian football. Salah's big break came when he joined FC Basel in Switzerland. His impressive performances caught the attention of clubs across Europe, leading to a move to the English Premier League with Chelsea FC in 2014. Although his time at Chelsea was brief and a bit underwhelming. Known as a Chelsea reject in 2016, Salah moved to AS Roma, where he truly began to shine. His electrifying speed and skill on the ball wowed fans and pundits alike, earning him a move to the best club in the world Liverpool FC in 2017. At Liverpool, Salah became an instant sensation. In his debut season, he set the Premier League on fire, breaking records and winning individual awards. His impact on the team and the league was immense, earning him the nickname "The Egyptian King." But Salah's influence goes beyond the football pitch. He is a role model for millions of fans, particularly in Egypt, where he is celebrated as a national hero. Despite his fame and success, Salah remains humble and dedicated to giving back to his community. He’s won the Premier League, UEFA Champions leagues and many more with Liverpool in their world class roster next to Firmino and Sadio Mane in attack. In the world of football, Mohamed Salah's name will be remembered for generations to come. His journey from the streets of Nagrig to the pinnacle of the sport is a testament to his talent, hard work, and unwavering determination.
