Children take training at private soccer academy in Cairo

An Egyptian soccer trainee takes a training at a private soccer academy in Nagrig village of Basioun district in Gharbiya province, over 150km north of Egypt's capital Cairo on Oct. 13, 2017. Parents in Nagrig and other villages started to pay more attention to develop their children's football skills, particularly after seeing Mohamed Salah, their fellow villager and currently Liverpool soccer star, rising from the countryside. Mohamed Salah has recently guided his country to rare qualification for Russia 2018 World Cup after scoring Egypt's two goals against Congo in a crucial match this week. (Xinhua/Zhao Dingzhe)
