Sadio Mane of Al Nassr has reportedly tied the knot with long-time partner Aisha Tamba, in an elaborate wedding ceremony in Darka on Sunday, January 7.
The event was said to be attended by friends, family, including current and former members of the Senegal national team.
The wedding ceremony took place in Keur Massar, Dakar, Senegal, showing the personal side of the two-time African Player of the Year.
Despite the secrecy that surrounded Mane's relationship for years, the report of the 31-year-old union has been the talk of the town on the internet.
Aisha Tamba originated from Casamança, she also speaks Madingue like her husband.
Reports claimed that Aisha had long been in a relationship with Sadio Mane since her teenage days.
The former Liverpool forward had also made his ambitions clear from the beginning by taking care of Aisha and paying her fees while she was in school.
Aisha is known to be from a humble and simple background in Senegal and surprisingly, she is reportedly not on social media.
According to reports, the gorgeous bride is the daughter of an architect.
Tamba was filmed in a colorful wedding dress with a beautiful big smile on her face for the great day. Mane wore a traditional white Arabian outfit, in pictures shared on social media.
Sadio Mane, on the other hand, had a great week expanding beyond his personal life, as he previously made headlines for his philanthropic actions.
Mane has accomplished an important milestone by donating to the building of a stadium in Bambali, Senegal, renovating the humble mud stadium where his journey in football started days before exchanging vows with his longtime partner.
This act of unselfishness indicated Mane's commitment to giving back to his community and strengthening the sports infrastructure in his homeland.
Mane's scheduled wedding, just days before the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) kick-off in the Ivory Coast, adds an extra value of enthusiasm.
Senegal, under Mane's leadership, are getting ready to defend their AFCON title, and the former Liverpool star will be hoping to once more lead the team's attack in pursuit of the continental title.
What's next for Sadio Mane?
The 31-year-old will next join his teammates for Senegal's pre-AFCON friendly game against Niger before the team leaves for Ivory Coast to start the defense of their African prestigious title.
The Lions of Teranga have been drawn in Group C along with five-time champions, Cameroon, as well as Guinea and the Gambia.
In addition, it remains to be seen how far the former Southampton player can lead his team in the tournament judging by his recent performances with Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia.
