AFCON 2023: Sadio Mane, Senegal begin title defence with tricky test against regional neighbors
A title defence won't come easy for Senegal as in the history of the competition, only three nations have managed to successfully retain the AFCON title: Egypt (1957, 1959; 2006, 2008, 2010), Ghana (1963, 1965) and Cameroon (2000, 2002).
Should this transpire, she may find herself rubbing shoulders with some notable figures, including Cristiano Ronaldo and his partner, Georgina Rodriguez, both associated with the Saudi Pro League club.
Tamba will join the ranks of the so-called WAGs (Wives and Girlfriends) at the club, with Georgina Rodriguez herself boasting an impressive following of 55 million on Instagram.
Despite the prospect of this high-profile move, Aisha maintains her steadfast resolve that her husband's fame and fortune will not alter her core values.
