Former Liverpool striker Sadio Mane has tied the knot with his 18-year-old sweetheart Aisha Tamba in a private ceremony in his home country, Senegal.
The wedding is believed to have taken place on January 7 in Keur Massar, an area in the capital Dakar, just six days before the start of the Africa Cup of Nations on January 13. Reports indicate that family members, friends, and fellow footballers attended the event.
According to foreign media, Aisha has reportedly been in a relationship with the 31-year-old footballer since her teenage years, although the exact duration of their relationship is not known. The legal age of consent in Senegal is 16.
It has also been reported by Pulse Sports that the former Liverpool star took care of her bills when she was in school. After she turned 18, the striker officially formalized the marriage.
