Liverpool’s Salah honored with the Laureus Sporting Inspiration award.
Liverpool player Mohamed Salah is very delighted after he was honored with the 2021 Laureus Sporting Inspiration award.
Salah alongside tennis stars Naomi Osaka and Rafael Nadal were among the big heroes of the virtal award commemoration that was held in Seville on Thursday evening.
The Egyptian idol received the Sporting Inspiration award for his philanthropic gesture to people in his hometown of Nagrig over the last 12 months.
Back in April 2018, Salah financed the construction of a medical center and a school for girls in the Egyptian village.In addition to this, Salah bought the first ambulance in Nagrig and also bought medical equipment to help the people.
Although a secondary school in the city of Basyoun and a sports center in Nagrig have been named after Salah, the two-time African Footballer of the Year did not rest at that as he showed up for his community again with the provision of oxygen tanks during the coronavirus pandemic.

Quoted by the club’s website, the 28 years old said:
“I’m very proud to have been chosen by the Laureus Academy for this Sporting Inspiration award,”
“2020 was a very difficult year on so many levels and for so many people around the world. Some of us were kept away from our family and friends, and others even lost loved ones. We need to learn from this experience, support one another and do our best to look ahead.
“Many times football players win awards and automatically thank our fans. This time, I will dedicate this award, not only to my fans, but to all the other sports fans around the world.
“This past year has been a very harsh reminder of the fact that sports, including football, is nothing without fans. Everyone in the world of sport can be replaced – fans are not.
“I will end on that note. Once again, thank you very much.”
