Mohamed Salah Wears Number 61 Shirt in Honor of Trabzon

Mohamed Salah caught the spotlight as he arrived in Trabzon, Turkey, wearing the number 61 jersey, a scene that raised questions among fans, especially since the Egyptian star has been associated with the number 11 at Liverpool and the number 10 with the Egyptian national team.

However, the choice of the number was not a coincidence; it was a tribute to the city of Trabzon, which holds a special place in its history and culture. The number represents its official symbol and appears on vehicle license plates as a postal code for vehicles in the city, becoming over time a part of its identity and belonging.

The significance of the number extends beyond the city itself, reaching the stands of Trabzonspor, where fans make it a point to celebrate the 61st minute of every match held at the team's stadium. They do so through chants and fan displays, marking one of the club's most cherished traditions.

Mohamed Salah appeared in the number 61 jersey during his visit to Trabzon, and he also wore it in his official presentation video, in a gesture that reflects his respect for the city's history and its fans. He will wear the number 10 on his shirt during official matches with the team.
