The Egyptian national team and Liverpool player Mohamed Salah made a new achievement, winning a new title. The Egyptian icon was voted BBC African Footballer of the Year for the second time in a row surpassing all his rivals after his great season with Liverpool and the national team. Salah became the third Egyptian and fifth Arab to crown the BBC award since it was launched in 1991. The Zambian team won the prize in 1994 after recovering from the disaster of losing 18 players in the crash of their plane in 1993. Salah won the Golden Boot last season for heading the list of top scorers in the English Premier League in his debt season with Liverpool.
