Sadio Mane Jokes About Secret Wedding After Marrying Aisha Tamba in Senegal
Sadio Mane, the 31-year-old football star who currently plays for Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia, has surprised many by getting married to 19-year-old Aisha Tamba in Senegal. Mane, known for keeping his private life under wraps, posed for photographs at his wedding ceremony in Dakar, Senegal’s capital, just a week before the start of his team’s Africa Cup of Nations campaign.
Not much is known about Mane’s wife, Aisha, as she is not active on social media and the couple had never been publicly pictured together. However, it is understood that she was born in the same region of Senegal as her husband.
Mane, who has often been teased on social media in Senegal for being single, jokingly told a well-wisher after his wedding, “Thank you for the messages, except that all single people must now leave Senegal!”
Senegal’s president, Macky Sall, also joined in the light-hearted banter during the national team’s send-off event for the Africa Cup of Nations tournament. He congratulated Mane on his marriage and said, “From now on you have another job apart from scoring goals.”
Mane will now shift his focus to Senegal’s Africa Cup of Nations campaign, starting with a match against Gambia on Monday. The reigning champions will also face Cameroon and Gambia in Group C.
