Senegal captain Sadio Mane has tied the knot with his longtime girlfriend Aisha Tamba in a private ceremony in Dakar, Senegal.

The Al-Nassr forward is a devout Muslim and has kept his personal life private. As a result, the news of his marriage caused a stir among football fans.

Aisha Tamba hails from Casamance in southern Senegal near the Gambin border. 

According to Pulse Sports, Mane and Tamba have been together since their teenage days.

Tamba is not on social media platforms. However, her pictures from a pre-wedding photoshoot have gone viral on the internet.

In 2022, Sadio Mane opened up about the ideal woman he would marry. He stated that several women have asked him about his relationship status and why he’s not married, however, he’ll marry someone with no social media presence and religious. 

He said (via Tribuna):

“I’ve seen a lot of girls asking me why I am not married, but sorry you might be wasting your time. The woman I marry will not be on social networks (TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc).

He added:

“I want to marry a woman who respects God and prayers well. Everyone has their own way of making their choice of love.”

Mane has currently left Saudi Arabia to join the Senegalese football team ahead of the African Cup of Nations which will commence on January 13.
