**CROWNED STAR**
**LIVERPOOL**
Calls to expose FIFA’s corruption and bias are growing louder, particularly regarding its treatment of African players. After a phenomenal season, if Mohamed Salah leads Liverpool to a Premier League title and still doesn’t win the Ballon d’Or, it will be undeniable—FIFA is deliberately ignoring African excellence.
**BREAKING NEWS: Former Arsenal Manager Urges Salah to Stay at Liverpool, Accuses FIFA of Racism and Corruption**
A former Arsenal head coach has sparked major controversy with his outspoken remarks on Mohamed Salah’s future and FIFA’s treatment of African footballers. In a passionate plea, the ex-manager insisted that Salah should continue his career at Liverpool, while also accusing FIFA of systemic bias that has historically prevented African players from receiving the highest individual honors in football.
“I personally urged him to stay at Liverpool—this is where he belongs,” the former Arsenal boss stated. “But there’s an even bigger issue at hand. FIFA’s corruption and bias must be exposed! If Salah wins the Premier League with Liverpool this season and still doesn’t get the Ballon d’Or, then there’s only one explanation—FIFA is racist and refuses to acknowledge African greatness.”
**Salah’s Future Remains Uncertain**
These statements come at a critical juncture for Salah and Liverpool. The Egyptian forward’s future has been the subject of widespread speculation, with reports linking him to potential moves away from Anfield. Interest from Saudi Arabian clubs and top European teams has fueled debates about whether he will remain with the Reds or seek a new challenge elsewhere. The former Arsenal coach’s strong endorsement emphasizes Salah’s significance not just for Liverpool, but for the sport as a whole.
Since joining Liverpool in 2017, Salah has solidified his status as one of the world’s most consistent and elite players. He has won numerous major trophies, including the Premier League and Champions League, and has earned multiple Golden Boots, establishing himself as one of football’s biggest stars. However, despite his outstanding performances and individual accolades, Salah has yet to receive the sport’s most prestigious award—the Ballon d’Or.
**FIFA’s Controversial Record on African Players**
The Ballon d’Or, awarded annually to the best footballer in the world, has long been criticized for favoring European and South American players over African talents. In the history of the award, only one African player—George Weah in 1995—has ever won it. Despite the incredible contributions of stars like Salah, Sadio Mané, and Riyad Mahrez, FIFA and football’s top governing bodies have repeatedly overlooked African excellence.
As Salah continues to dominate on the pitch, the debate over FIFA’s fairness and potential discrimination remains at the forefront. If he leads Liverpool to Premier League glory and still fails to win the Ballon d’Or, it will only reinforce the argument that FIFA’s bias against African players is both intentional and deeply ingrained.
