Hany Abo Rida: Salah feels at home in Trabzon

Egyptian Football Federation President Hany Abo Rida visited Trabzonspor. Rida met with vice president Zeyyat Kafkas, deputy presidents Ali Haydar Gedikli and Murat İskender, and General Treasurer Derviş Köz.

Kafkas said relations between Türkiye and Egypt had grown even stronger with Mohamed Salah's arrival. Kafkas said they had signed not just a footballer but a real character in Salah, and thanked Rida for the visit.

Rida said that when he spoke with Salah, the player told him he felt as if he were at home in Trabzon. Rida, who has known Salah since childhood, said the player has personality, character and loves to work hard. Rida added that the close interest shown in the national team captain has developed the historical ties between the Turkish and Egyptian peoples. Rida conveyed his best wishes to the club.

Salah transferred from Liverpool to Trabzonspor on 4 August 2026. In 14 official matches wearing the claret and blue shirt, he scored 10 goals and provided 5 assists. With this start in the Süper Lig, he matched the best season opening records of his Liverpool years.

At the end of the visit, both sides exchanged gifts and a commemorative photo was taken to mark the day.
