Through OPPO's #CaptureTheSpirit campaign, Mo Salah invites all his fans in the region to share their special moments so that he could re-live the experiences of his childhood through their eyes.

Values that are reflected in our relentless pursuit of virtuous innovation for the benefit of humanity. While the global pandemic has kept families away from each other, our #CaptureTheSpirit campaign with Mohamed Salah encourages people to picture life together and use technology to reach out and stay close to the people they care about during the Holy month of Ramadan."
