Sadio Mane, the Senegalese forward, expressed his deep appreciation after marrying his long-time partner, Aisha Tamba, in a beautiful wedding ceremony held in Dakar on Sunday. As Mane is currently preparing for the upcoming 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, he took the opportunity to perform the Nikah, the Islamic wedding ceremony. Following the event, photos of Mane’s wife went viral on social media, and fans, friends, and family joined in congratulating the talented winger.
In his first post after the wedding, Mane shared romantic photos with his beloved and expressed his heartfelt gratitude to God with the words “Alhamdulillah” in Arabic, which translates to “thank you, Allah.”
After the wedding, Mane rejoined his Senegal teammates for a pre-AFCON friendly against Niger at the Abdoulaye Wade Stadium. Although he remained on the bench throughout the match, the African champions secured a late 1-0 victory with an ιnjury-time goal from Formose Mendy, as reported by ESPN.
The Senegal national team will soon depart for Ivory Coast as they begin their campaign to defend their AFCON title. Placed in Group C alongside five-time champions Cameroon, neighboring Gambia, and Guinea, the Teranga Lions aim to showcase their football prowess.
Additionally, it was reported that Sadio Mane’s wedding ceremony was attended by friends, family, former players, and even current members of the national team. Furthermore, Mane has made a positive impact in his hometown of Bambali by constructing a new stadium for the community. The facility was officially opened before the Senegalese team’s training camp for the Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast. It is worth noting that just a year ago, Mane was spotted playing on a muddy pitch in Bambali after a challenging season in Europe, which included his departure from Bayern Munich.
