“From the Pitch to the Boardroom: My Portsmouth Vision”
By Mohamed Salah
Football has given me everything—the passion, the purpose, and the platform to dream beyond the pitch. Today, I’m proud to share a new chapter in my journey: securing a 40% ownership stake in Portsmouth FC.
This isn’t just a business move. It’s personal.
Portsmouth is a club built on history, resilience, and one of the most loyal fanbases in English football. Fratton Park breathes football in its purest form, and I’ve always admired that spirit from afar. Now, I have the opportunity to help shape its future.
Clause A: Still a Player First
As part of this agreement, there is a key condition—Clause A. For at least one year, I will remain fully committed as a professional player. My responsibilities on the pitch will not be compromised. Football is still my first love, and I believe I have much more to give at the highest level.
Balancing ownership and playing won’t be easy, but great challenges are what define us. This clause ensures I stay grounded in the game while gradually transitioning into leadership beyond it.
A Long-Term Vision
My involvement with Portsmouth is about building something sustainable. Not overnight success—but a structure that supports growth, discipline, and ambition.
I want to invest in:
Youth development and scouting
Modern training facilities
A winning culture rooted in hard work
Portsmouth deserves to compete, to rise, and to dream again.
More Than Ownership
This is about influence. It’s about bringing a player’s perspective into decision-making. I understand what players need to succeed, what fans expect, and what it takes to build a winning mentality.
I’m not here to sit in the background—I’m here to be involved, to learn, and to contribute.
The Journey Ahead
For now, my focus remains on football—scoring goals, creating moments, and giving everything on the pitch. But behind the scenes, a new journey has already begun.
Portsmouth FC is not just an investment. It’s a project. A belief. A future.
And this is only the beginning.
