Behind every great footballer, there’s a successful WAG (wife and girlfriend, don’t you know). If you’re scoring on the pitch, then you want to be scoring at home too.
And African WAGs are doing much more than manicures and retail therapy; they’re setting up charities, pursuing careers and looking after children that must be genetically blessed with both talent and looks!
So time for a shout out to the ladies: we count down the women who we admire for their brains, beauty and their boyfriends.
Sully
and Menaye met in 2006 during the World Cup in Germany. It was love
from then on; the couple got married in 2010. Smokin’ hot Menaye Donkor
represented Ghana in Miss Universe 2004. She is a philanthropist and has
even set up her own charity called the Menaye Charity Foundation, which
supports a school in Ghana. They couple live in Italy as Sully plays
for AC Milan.
Ivorian
Georgette formally married Cameroonian Samuel Eto’o in 2014. One of the
most successful African footballers in history, Eto’o and Georgette had
a traditional wedding in 2007 and already have four children together.
The childhood sweethearts look as happy as ever:
Fenerbahçe SK player
and Super Eagles captain Joseph Yobo met Adaeze in December 2009.
Months later they wed in a small ceremony. Ada represented Nigeria in
Miss World 2008. She has a charity foundation in Nigeria called the
Adaeze Igwe Foundation, which raises awareness of serious illnesses like
HIV, malaria and tuberculosis. The pair have one beautiful son
together.
Didier
Drogba and Lalla Diakité got married in 2011 in Monaco (Akon, Michael
Essien and Roman Abramovich were all on the guest list). The former
Chelsea player and the Malian Diakité met in Paris in 1999. After 12
years of being together the couple wed. They have three children
together and live a quiet life outside of the public eye. They had a
more formal wedding in Monaco but we love the traditional African
wedding they had.
