In history, no Egyptian player has been as influential in European football as Mohamed Salah.
He is the most important factor in the Liverpool squad, helping this club reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League and maintain the top 4 position in the Premier League.
Since the beginning of the season, the 25-year-old striker has played 40 matches in all competitions and scored 35 goals. In the "European Golden Boot" race, Salah is leading with 28 goals in the Premier League. If he can maintain this form and the miracle comes to Liverpool in the Champions League, Salah has a chance to win the Golden Ball.
In today's Egypt, Salah is considered the brightest star in the sports industry, even a hero because he contributed greatly to bringing the national team back to the World Cup. To reward the 25-year-old star, the representative of Vodafone telecommunications company in Egypt decided to promote 11 minutes of call to all subscribers for each goal Salah scored from now until the end of the season.
Vodafone currently has 43 million subscribers in Egypt. The average hourly call fee is £0.25. Thus, each goal of Salah will be worth about 118 million pounds in mobile prepaid at home.
This is the happiest news for Egyptians, especially Vodafone subscribers. Among those 43 million subscribers, perhaps the majority are hoping Salah will score as many as possible, anywhere or in any shirt.
