Senegal’s star forward, Sadio Mane, has tied the knot with his longtime partner, Aisha Tamba, in a beautiful ceremony in Dakar. While Mane is known for keeping his personal life tightly under wraps, the unexpected announcement of his wedding has brought his love story with Aisha into the spotlight.
Who is Aisha Tamba?
Aisha Tamba, born in Casamance near Mane’s hometown of Bambali, is now officially Mrs. Mane at the age of 18, according to Senegalese news outlet Sene News. The daughter of an architect, Aisha speaks the native Mandingo language, aligning with the cultural roots of the Al-Nassr star.
Mane reportedly first noticed Aisha when she was just 16 years old but refrained from formal advances due to her minor status. Instead, he communicated his intentions to his uncle, a family friend, setting the stage for their eventual union.
Besides being Mane’s life partner, Aisha has pursued her education with the footballer’s support. She is currently in her final year, focusing on Quranic studies at a private institute in Mbao.
The Wedding and Public Reaction
The union of Mane and Tamba was sealed on January 7, 2024, in an Islamic marriage ceremony attended by friends, family, former players, and members of Senegal’s national team. The couple has since offered a glimpse into their lives, with a circulating video clip adding to the intrigue surrounding Mane and his newly revealed wife.
Well-wishes have been pouring in for the couple as they embark on this new chapter together. Despite Mane’s busy schedule, which included the inauguration of a stadium in Bambali and rejoining the Teranga Lions training camp for AFCON, he took this significant step in his personal life, marking the beginning of a new journey with Aisha.
