THE HOTTEST WIVES OF AFRICAN FOOTBALLERS:

Behind the success of every african footballer, there is a woman be it wife or girlfriend. Scoring on the football field is just as important as scoring at home with the right person.

 

And African footballer’s WOMEN 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.

HABANAIJA sends a shout out to the ladies as 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.  Sully Muntari plays for Al-Ittihad FC .
