  • Sadio Mane's wife Aisha Tamba has spoken after their marriage
  • The Al-Nassr forward tied the knot with the student in Senegal
  • Mane is with the Senegal team for AFCON 2023 in Cote d'Ivoire

The wife of Senegalese football icon, Sadio Mane, Aisha Tamba has spoken for the first time since her marriage with the Al-Nassr forward.

Mane married the 18-year-old student at a private ceremony in Dakar, just days before the start of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.

The former Liverpool star had to leave after the wedding to rejoin his Senegal teammates for preparations ahead of the defence of their AFCON title.

His marriage to his teenage lover has garnered a lot of attention worldwide following his fame and fortune from football.

However, Mrs Mane claims she is not bothered by her husband's popularity and remains rooted in her faith and humility.

"I am looking forward to my new life and I know that it will be very different. But I do not feel any pressure because Sadio’s fame and money will not change me. This is not what I’m interested in. I will remain a humble person committed to my faith," she told the Daily Mail, as quoted by GOAL.
"I’m not used to having so much attention on me because we are a very private family. We don’t like to show off and speak about our personal lives. I am a very down-to-earth person, this is how I was raised, and nothing will be different just because of this marriage. But I’m very honoured to now be Mrs Mane," she added.

Mrs Mane could move to Saudi Arabia with her husband at the end of her education in Senegal and could meet his teammate, Cristiano Ronaldo and his partner, Georgina Rodriguez.

Asked if she knew the super couple, Aisha Tamba had no idea who Ronaldo's girlfriend was.

"I don’t know who she is and I don’t do any social media," she said.

Mane and his Senegal teammates will begin the defence of their AFCON title on Monday with a game against Gambia, as reported by ESPN.
