The Egyptian Football Association’s (EFA) votes for Mohamed Salah were not counted during the Fifa Best Player 2019 rankings because the signatures on Egypt’s ballots were in capital letters and not signed by the EFA’s general secretary, according to Associated Press. The ballots were therefore deemed unvalid, Fifa said. It was revealed last week that the EFA had not voted for Salah in the awards, resulting in the Egyptian star removing “Egyptian national team” from his Twitter bio.
