The Egyptian Football Association (EFA) has written to Fifa over the apparent rejection of their votes in Monday’s the Best Fifa Football Awards.
All national team coaches and captains, as well as a media representative, were required to send in their top three picks before the deadline on August 19.
The EFA insist they met the deadline and interim coach Shawky Gharib and captain Ahmed Elmohamady voted for the Liverpool star.
However, neither reflected on the voting breakdown, which has led to the consequent questioning.
Hany Danial, who was the Egyptian media representative, voted for Sadio Mane, Cristiano Ronaldo and Salah in that order.
