Vodafone Egypt Brings Together Icons Magdi Yacoub and Mohamed Salah
In a unique cultural and humanitarian initiative, Vodafone Egypt hosted a historic meeting between two of Egypt’s most inspiring icons — world-renowned heart surgeon Professor Sir Magdi Yacoub and global football legend Mohamed Salah — in a tribute dedicated to future generations.
The exclusive encounter, described as a meeting between “excellence in science and greatness in sport,” symbolizes Vodafone Egypt’s ongoing commitment to fostering human connection through technology and empowering individuals to make a lasting social impact.
The special conversation will be broadcast exclusively on ON Sport on 16 November, and later on Vodafone Egypt’s official YouTube channel, highlighting the company’s dedication to promoting values of determination, humility, and perseverance while bridging the gap between generations through meaningful storytelling.
> “This initiative represents more than a dialogue — it’s a timeless message of inspiration,” Vodafone Egypt said in a statement. “It reminds us that true success lies in one’s ability to empower others, and that technology, at its best, is a bridge that connects people and ideas.”
Celebrating Egyptian Icons and Human Values
As part of its long-standing social commitment, Vodafone Egypt — in collaboration with the Magdi Yacoub Heart Foundation and the Vodafone Egypt Foundation for Community Development — continues to support life-saving initiatives that bring hope to children and families in need.
These partnerships have launched national donation campaigns to fund pediatric heart surgeries through Vodafone Cash and the Ana Vodafone app, alongside charity auctions and institutional support programs such as “From Heart to Heart – Thank You, From Now to Tomorrow.”
This latest initiative unites two Egyptian figures whose achievements transcend borders:
Professor Sir Magdi Yacoub, one of the world’s most distinguished heart surgeons, whose humanitarian legacy and scientific contributions have transformed countless lives; and
Mohamed Salah, Vodafone Egypt’s long-time brand ambassador and 5G technology ambassador, whose inspiring journey from Egypt’s local fields to global stardom has made him a symbol of perseverance, humility, and hope.
Their dialogue reflects a meeting of generations and disciplines — where science meets sport, and achievement meets compassion — embodying the bright, human face of Egypt that inspires the world.
Technology as a Bridge for Humanity
Vodafone Egypt reaffirmed that its mission extends beyond providing telecom services — it seeks to leverage technology as a human bridge that connects people, ideas, and values.
Through its partnerships and initiatives, the company continues to redefine success not merely as progress, but as social responsibility — measured by the ability to empower others and create hope for the future.
> “Vodafone Egypt is proud to inspire the next generation through stories that remind us that technology is not only about connection — it’s about compassion, progress, and building a better tomorrow,” the company added
