In recent hours, there has been much discussion about the marriage of Sadio Mané to 19-year-old Aisha Tamba. The Senegalese striker's wedding has filled the English tabloids and caused quite a surprise. The wedding took place in Dakar on January 7, six days before the start of the Africa Cup where Senegal of the same Mané will have to defend the title obtained in the last edition. The bride, Aisha, is only 19 years old, 12 years younger than the 31-year-old footballer. The footballer had to wait until Aisha became of age before asking for her hand. The legal age for consent in Senegal is 16 years but Mané chose to marry her when she reached 19 years.
According to African media, Mané had identified Aisha as his future wife when she was still 16 years old. As reported by Pulse Sports, the young girl would have been destined for Mané since her adolescence. The striker would have even paid Aisha's bills while the girl was attending school, taking care of her until the day of the wedding. During these years the former Liverpool player kept his relationship away from the spotlight, focusing only on the field. This is also why his wedding has aroused great curiosity.
