Trabzonspor have ended speculation over Mohamed Salah’s squad number by confirming that the Egyptian star will wear the No. 10 shirt during his upcoming spell with the Turkish club. The announcement comes as preparations continue for his official presentation and contract-signing ceremony in front of supporters at Papara Park.

The decision allows Salah to continue wearing a number closely associated with his international career for Egypt. Meanwhile, the club clarified that the No. 61 shirt featured in earlier promotional material was only a symbolic reference to the city of Trabzon and will not be used in official matches.

Salah Gets No. 10

Turkish reports indicated that Albanian midfielder Ernest Muci agreed to give up the No. 10 shirt for Salah, a gesture that underlined the warm reception awaiting the Egyptian star at the club.

Trabzonspor had reportedly prepared the No. 11 shirt initially, but Salah preferred to wear No. 10, a number with special significance in his international career. The club subsequently finalized the decision and began preparing shirts carrying his name and new number.

Alongside the shirt-number announcement, Trabzonspor confirmed that Salah’s official presentation and contract-signing ceremony will take place on Thursday, August 6, at Papara Park, with supporters and members of the media expected to attend.

The event is scheduled to begin at 7:30 p.m., and the club has encouraged fans to wear the team’s new-season shirts as they welcome Salah for his first official appearance in front of the Trabzonspor faithful.

The ceremony follows Salah’s arrival in Turkey and the completion of his medical examinations, with supporters eagerly awaiting his first appearance in the No. 10 shirt and the beginning of a new chapter in his career.

Salah’s arrival is regarded as one of Trabzonspor’s most significant signings in recent years, not only because of his footballing quality and experience but also because of his enormous popularity and commercial appeal. Fans now hope that the presentation night will mark the start of a successful season in which the club can compete strongly and achieve major results.
