Students from the Dubai based DES School, were the guests (and the journalists) at an hour-long press conference with the football star near The Dubai Mall. With the Burj Khalifa serving as their backdrop, children between 7 – 10 years old, from all over the world (including Mo’s Egypt) were able to ask him about football and so much more.

When asked about his favourite and worst subjects at school, Mo laughed and said,

“I didn’t have a favourite subject in school so I’m glad I know how to play football.”

And when asked what the highlight of his career has been so far he said:

“I would say the day I scored the goal which qualified Egypt for the World Cup 2018.”

The best part? Mo hung out with the children after the press conference and even kicked a ball around!

“I had the best day with Mo Salah,’ Yusef Aneel a student at DES School said. “I got the opportunity to ask him questions and play with him after.”

Following the kids’ press conference, Mo made his way to the adidas Originals store at The Dubai Mall to greet competition winners and fans, as well as watch Abu Dhabi-based Somali rapper, Freek perform his own track Mo Salah, named after the footballer.
