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.
1. Samuel and Georgette Eto'o
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:
2. Joseph and Adaeze Yobo
Former 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.
3. Didier and Diakité Drogba
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.
4. Alex and Olivia Song
Cameroonian Alex Song wed the beautiful Olivia who is his childhood darling. They have two children together. The West Ham United midfielder and the business woman have two children together. They’re known for their impeccable fashion sense.
