Early Life

The 15th of June 1992 witnessed the birth of a superstar named Mohamed Salah.

He was born in the native city of Nagrig, Gharbia in Egypt, North Africa, to an average family who loved and cared for him. He is a devoted Muslim.

Mohamed Salah grew up with the love of the round leather game. He would skip classes, miss homework, and sometimes have dinner to play or watch football.

Unfortunately, his passion for football was also responsible for his failure in his academics to some extent.

His mother never supported his decision to be a football as she had always wanted him to become a mechanical engineer.

However, it was not meant to be as the young lad was already engrossed in football.

His father, Salah Ghaly on the other, supported his development as a footballer and always taught him about the importance of four hours of training daily.
