Mohamed Salah received an enthusiastic reception upon his arrival in Cairo, as devoted fans and children gathered at the airport. The Liverpool star is set to play a crucial role in Egypt's upcoming World Cup qualifiers.

Despite finishing fourth in the Ballon d'Or, behind Ousmane Dembele, Lamine Yamal, and Vitinha, Salah remains a celebrated figure. The Egyptian Football Association praised his international acclaim and determination as he prepares to lead his national team.

As Egypt leads Group A with 20 points, a win against Djibouti on October 8 would secure their place in the 2026 World Cup. Salah, who excelled last season with Liverpool, is expected to boost Egypt's performance in the qualifiers.
