Mohamed Salah, a well known football player for Liverpool and Egypt, is from this village, Nagrig.
Nagrig is an ancient village. It was also mentioned under its ancient name of "Nagreg"[1] in the region of Gharbia, as part of the survey (ordered during the reign of Saladin in 572/AH 1176 AD) counted by Ibn Mamati in the book “Laws of Collections.”[2]
Mohamed Salah has funded building a primary and middle school as well as a small stadium. Salah also donates money, distributed through his charity, to be given to widows, poor families, and poor Syrian refugees. Salah's foundation also gave the village its first ambulance, as residents must travel to Basyoun for medical treatment.[3][4]
The population of Nagrig was 8,656 people, according to the official census of 2006.[5] A 2018 article interviewing village mayor Maher Shatteh cites the population as "more than 15,000," of which 65% live in poverty.[4]
