The reception came after Salah finished fourth in the Ballon d'Or voting, which recognizes the world's best player of the season. Despite missing out on the award, Salah remains a highly respected figure in the football world.
The Egyptian Football Association released a statement praising Salah's global reputation and determination. The association noted that Salah's success on the field is a key factor in Egypt's bid to qualify for the 2026 World Cup.
Salah, 33, had a standout season with Liverpool, scoring 34 goals and providing 23 assists in 52 appearances. He led the team to the Premier League title and earned several individual honors, including Premier League Player of the Season.
Salah's fourth-place finish in the Ballon d'Or voting was a personal best, although he did not attend the ceremony in Paris. He is expected to join Egypt's training session on Monday.
Egypt currently leads Group A in the African qualifying competition with 20 points. A win against Djibouti on October 8th would secure their fourth World Cup appearance.
