Football fans around the world are sending congratulations to Sadio Mane as he celebrates a new chapter in his life – marriage! The beloved 31-year-old Senegalese star recently wed his 19-year-old girlfriend, Aisha Tamba, in a private ceremony held in their home country.
The wedding, which took place on January 7, just six days before the kickoff of the Africa Cup of Nations on January 13, was a private affair attended by close family, friends, and fellow footballers.
While details remain private, glimpses of the beautiful ceremony have emerged online, revealing a joyous occasion filled with love, faith, and Senegalese tradition. Pictures showcase Sadio Mane and Aisha Tamba, radiant in their wedding attire, sharing smiles and laughter as they embark on their journey together.
Mane, known for his humility and dedication to his community, held the ceremony in Keur Massar, near the capital city of Dakar. The couple, both devout Muslims, exchanged vows surrounded by close family and friends, including fellow footballers. Sharing their happiness online, Mane posted a simple message of gratitude: “Thanks to God,” written in Arabic.
Who is Sadio Mane wife – Aisha Tamba?
Reports suggest that Aisha has been part of Mane’s life since her teenage years, although the exact duration of their relationship remains unknown. The 31-year-old footballer has been discreet about his personal life, and during his time at Liverpool, he had not publicly disclosed any relationships, keeping Aisha a secret until now.
While much has been written about Mane’s incredible career on the pitch, his commitment to his roots and philanthropy deserve equal praise. Aisha Tamba hails from Casamance, a region close to Mane’s village of Bambali, where he has generously invested in his community. Hospitals, schools, mosques, and even a gas station stand as testaments to his kind heart and desire to uplift his people.
Aisha is the daughter of an architect and grew up in the same town that borders Bambali, Mane’s hometown.
Aisha Tamba, reportedly a student dedicated to her studies, shares Mane’s values and quiet demeanor. Together, they form a couple grounded in family, faith, and a passion for giving back.
She is also a student at Cabis School in Grand Mbao Baobab, Senegal, is reportedly fluent in Mandingo, a language spoken in parts of Senegal and The Gambia. Despite her husband’s high-profile career, she remains committed to her studies and is not on social media.
As Sadio Mane sets off to compete in the Africa Cup of Nations, bringing pride to Senegal on both the field and off, Aisha Tamba will undoubtedly offer him unwavering support and a loving home to return to.
