MBABANE – The national team, Sihlangu players were left stunned by the crowd
that showed up to welcome their football hero, Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah.
Salah joined his team-mates at training yesterday morning ahead of the Sihlangu
clash tomorrow at 7pm at the Al Salaam Stadium, Cairo, in the 2019 Africa Cup of
Nation qualifiers, with the return match scheduled for Tuesday at Mavuso Sports
Centre.
Salah was given two days off by the Pharaohs’ Mexican coach Javier Aguirre
with West Bromwich defender Ahmed Hegazy.
“Thousands of fans gathered on the streets singing and dancing to Mohamed
Salah’s greatness and the fans are highly crazy over him. Eswatini is the
buzz-word here and they want to know about the little kingdom,” said a source
in Egypt.
There is heavy security at the hotel of the Egypt national team and
international media, especially from the Middle East is all over.

Salah once complained ahead and after the FIFA World Cup in Russia that his
security was not enough, as Egypt fans gathered outside his residence while

According to a statement released by the Egyptian Football Association (EFA),
the Liverpool FC winger, Salah and West Bromwich defender Ahmed Hegazy joined
Egypt’s training camp yesterday amid final preparations for the first match
