Turkish club Trabzonspor said Egyptian star Mohamed Salah will wear the number 61 shirt during his time with the team, a number closely associated with the city of Trabzon and its history.
The number 61 is the official code for Trabzon province, appearing at the start of vehicle registration plates and postal codes across the region. Over the years, it has also become a prominent symbol of the club’s identity and its supporters.
Trabzonspor’s official website described the No. 61 shirt as “the most symbolic piece” in the club’s historic collection, highlighting its strong connection to the city and its fans.
Salah’s choice of the number adds a new dimension to his expected spell with Trabzonspor, amid high expectations surrounding the arrival of the Egypt captain at the Turkish club.
