A truly remarkable story from Senegal. Star player Sadio Mané got married a few days before the start of the Africa Cup of Nations. Nothing special you might think? Well, if you know the age of the lady.
Arab invasion in the Africa Cup of Nations
Mané is currently active at Al Nassr together with Cristiano Ronaldo. In the Saudi Pro League, the Senegalese scored eight goals (in 18 games) and also provided 4 assists.
Senegal, winners of the last Africa Cup of Nations, hope to retain the title in the next edition in Ivory Coast (13 January-11 February 2024) with some players, in addition to Mané, currently active in Saudi Arabia.
“A relationship that has lasted for years”
Mané himself had other things on his mind in the last few days, after all he married the just 18-year-old Aisha Tamba, the ceremony took place in Keur Massar (Dakar region). All legal, except for the fact that the two have been in a relationship for years.
Mané himself is now 31 and is said to have fully covered his bride’s school expenses in recent years. Even in Senegal it is legally possible to have sexual intercourse only from the age of sixteen.
Praise be to God❤️
