Mohamed Salah Vows 'New Beginning' for Egyptian Football After World Cup Exit

Mohamed Salah has pledged a "new beginning" for Egyptian football, despite the national team's elimination from the 2026 World Cup. The Liverpool star acknowledged that supporters might still be upset after a contentious defeat against Argentina, which he described as the most controversial match of the tournament so far. "I know you are still upset, but I promise you I will do everything in my power to make this a new beginning for Egyptian football internationally," Salah stated on his official X account.
