  Mohamed Salah delivered a heartfelt message to Egypt’s football supporters, acknowledging their disappointment while urging them to believe in the national team’s future.  In a social media caption, the former Liverpool star vowed to do everything within his power to help usher in “a new beginning for Egyptian football on the international stage.” He added that merely qualifying for the FIFA World Cup should no longer be considered the ultimate goal. “Qualifying for the World Cup won’t be enough, and simply taking part won’t be enough either,” Salah wrote, emphasizing his ambition for Egypt to compete at the highest level and achieve meaningful success on the global stage.  The captain concluded his message by asking fans to continue believing in the team, stating, “This team deserves your trust.” Salah’s comments come after Egypt’s most successful FIFA World Cup campaign in history.
