Egyptians are showing great support for Egyptian football star Mohamed Salah after his name was announced, last week, on the shortlist of candidates for the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA) Award for Best Player in the World, alongside Frenchman Kylian Mbappe and the permanent candidates, Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo and Argentine Lionel Messi. The emergence of Salah, who plays for the English club Liverpool, to the ranks of the best in the world comes after he was able to capture most of the individual awards in England last season, especially the best player and top scorer in the English Premier League. He also led Liverpool to the Champions League final, and led Egypt to reach the World Cup for the first time since 1990.

I am proud of him because he is Egyptian. He is a pride for Arabs and Egyptians. Mohamed Salah is a great player and God honors him because he is a hardworking player, and the hardworking always reaches a high place.” Fan Hossam Abbas also nominated Mohamed Salah to win the title of best player in the world: “If I choose the best player in the world, I will choose Mohamed Salah. Because he won the title of top scorer in the English Premier League, which is the strongest league in the world.” Some Egyptians expressed expectations that were not high, as many believed that the injury of the Egyptian Pharaoh in the Champions League final slowed down his career, which might affect winning the FIFA award. Fan Ali Gamal said, "His nomination in itself is a great achievement because FIFA officially placed him alongside players like Mbappe, Harry Kane, Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi." It is noteworthy that the FIFA list included ten players: Cristiano Ronaldo, Kevin De Bruyne, Antoine Griezmann, Eden Hazard, Harry Kane, Kylian Mbappe, Lionel Messi, Luka Modric, Mohamed Salah, and Raphael Varane. The name of Brazilian Neymar da Silva, playmaker for French club Paris Saint-Germain, was absent from this year's nominations.
