Mohamed Salah has been nominated for the BBC World Sports Personality of the Year 2025 award, despite his ongoing crisis with his Liverpool FC.
.
The Egyptian, 33, is one of six athletes shortlisted for the World Sport Star award, which has previously been won by Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Erling Haaland.
The BBC announced a shortlist of six nominees for the 2025 World Sports Personality award and opened the door for a public vote on its official website.
Salah is competing against the following nominees: Mariuma Caldentey (footballer), Terence Crawford (boxer), Armand Duplantis (pole vaulter), Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone (sprinter/hurdler), and Shohei Ohtani (baseball player).
“The Egyptian star led Liverpool to the English Premier League title while breaking a string of records, becoming the first player in history to achieve the Golden Boot, Best Playmaker, and Player of the Season awards in a single season,” the BBC wrote.
Salah recently sparked controversy with his recent statements about feeling the club had ‘thrown him under the bus’ and that his relationship with the manager, Arne Slot, had collapsed.
These statements ultimately led to the 33-year-old being excluded from the Liverpool squad against Inter in the Champions League for disciplinary reasons.
