Mohamed Salah is well-known to everyone with a pulse and even a passing interest in international football. Surely you did. Since his arrival at Anfield in 2017, the Egyptian captain has been an electrifying force for Jurgen Klopp’s team, winning the Premier League Golden Boot three times (2018), 2019, and 2021. Respected for his nimble agility and devastating finishing ability, Salah is a master tactician who can dismantle defenses on his own. Salah was pivotal in Klopp’s 2020 Liverpool championship-winning team, which finally ended the legendary club’s 30-year title wait.

You can’t help but rank Salah among the greatest players of his talent-laden generation as he broke record after record, including becoming Liverpool’s all-time leading scorer this season, surpassing Robbie Fowler. Despite the fact that the captivating winger has left an indelible mark on the world, very little is known about his wife Magi, even if he is already a living legend at Liverpool. Let us change that by providing you with all the necessary information about the great forward’s partner.

How did Mo and Magi Salah meet, and where did Magi Salah grow up?A native of the Egyptian village of Basion Gharbia, Salah’s wife Magi Sadeq was born in 1994 (according to Sportskeeda). Salah and Magi first crossed paths when they were both students at Mohammed Eyad Al Tantawi School, where Magi’s parents were instructors. They became childhood sweethearts as their friendship grew, and they spent every school year together.

Do you know when Mo Salah wed Magi Salah and whether they have any children together?Salah and Sadeq were married in their birthplace of Nagrig, Egypt’s village of Basion Gharbia on December 17, 2013. Their romance began when they were children, and it continued throughout their lives. Ninety percent of Egyptian women wear the hijab, and as a practicing Muslim, Magi adheres rigidly to the practice. The Sun reports that the happy couple come to Nagrig each year during Ramadan to distribute their money among the community through charity donations, and that Magi and Salah are active participants in festivities surrounding the Muslim calendar.

Magi and Mo’s children, Makka and Kayan Salah, are siblings. When Makka came into this world in London in 2014, the legendary player was already making waves for Chelsea. She was called after the sacred Islamic city of Mecca by her ecstatic parents in observance of her birth. In 2020, the Salah family expanded with the addition of Kayan to the family, some nine months after Liverpool’s devastating 4-0 semi-final win over Barcelona.
