The countdown has begun for the start of the world’s strongest and most famous leagues, from the English Premier League witnessing fierce competition among Europe’s top clubs, to the skillful and exciting Spanish La Liga, the tactically tough Italian Serie A, the powerful and fast German Bundesliga, and the French Ligue 1 shining with star players.

Football fans are preparing for a new dose of excitement, major transfers, and fiery confrontations as the new football season approaches. Egyptian fans, in particular, will focus on the English Premier League to follow the brilliant duo Mohamed Salah with Liverpool and Omar Mermoush with Manchester City.

Mohamed Salah will start his new season journey on August 15, facing Bournemouth at Anfield, beginning his quest to achieve several historic records. He needs to play 12 more matches to reach 300 appearances for Liverpool in the league and score 14 goals to reach 200 goals in the Premier League for both Liverpool and Chelsea.

Omar Mermoush will open his matches with Manchester City against Wolverhampton on August 16, a game that may mark his official start toward a prolific scoring season for the Egyptian star nicknamed “The Golden Prince,” whom Guardiola relies on to give the team a new attacking dimension.

Mermoush transferred from Eintracht Frankfurt to Manchester City in a deal worth 75 million euros during the last winter transfer window. He quickly adapted to the English atmosphere, participating in 25 matches, scoring 8 goals, and assisting 3 others, proving to be a successful and influential signing.
