Salah nominated for British award honouring best sports personality

Mohamed Salah has been nominated for the award of the best influential sports personality in Britain for 2022, organised by the Ethnicity Awards organization.

“Mohamed Salah is one of the most prolific forwards in European football and a Champions League and Premier League winner with Liverpool,” according to the Ethnicity Awards statement.

“Away from his stunning football exploits, the Egyptian superstar has become a leading figure for Muslim people around the world advocating for women’s equality in the Middle East, while displaying his faith prominently on the world stage. Salah‘s humanitarian exploits are simply incredible, too,” the statement added.

Salah is the most famous Muslim athlete in Europe and has done a lot of incredible work for his community back in Egypt.

His presence alone has reduced Islamophobic hate crimes in Liverpool since his arrival.

Salah has been selected alongside Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka and Everton’s Dominic Calvert-Lewin - they are the only three footballers on the list of 10 nominees.
