Sadio Mane is known for his monetary and philanthropic contributions to his hometown. In the African continent, the Al Nassr star is also one of the inspirations of younger soccer players. However, his charity work has also never gone unnoticed. A younger Napoli star player sees him as ‘an inspiration’ despite both of them having different goals for society. The soccer star emphasized his goal of helping everyone ‘feel equal’.

It is quite heartwarming that some soccer players have not forgotten their roots. They have remained grounded throughout their life despite enjoying enormous success on the pitch.

Sadio Mane had a turbulent start to the season after his unexpected move to Al Nassr from Bayern Munich. However, this has not stopped him from focusing on his charity work. The ex-Liverpool star continues to make contributions to the community of Senegal. The locals have great respect for the Al Nassr star. He is also an inspiration to millions of youngsters to dream big. Napoli’s Victor Osimhen also sees Mane as an inspiration for the work he is doing. He said, “I am inspired by Sadio Mane. But I have a different goal compared to his”.

“He is building infrastructure for the community of Senegal. That is awesome”. He continued, “But for me, I want to help disabled challenged people across Africa. I will always do my best to help where I can help. I am in the process of opening headquarters in Africa, which will help to achieve this goal. If you don’t have a leg, we will create a new one for you”.

“If it’s an arm, we will create a new one for you. We want them to feel equal to everyone. We work for Africa”. Such lines showcase how a superstar in whichever field of work shouldn’t forget their roots after making it big.

Sadio Mane and Victor Osimhen are inspiring many soccer star players, especially from Africa, to work for their community. Mainly because they have also learned the hard way during their journey to becoming top soccer players.

The Al Nassr star has made some huge donations in the form of different things for the people of Senegal. At the start of the pandemic in 2020, he donated $45,000 to the Government of Senegal in the tough situations during the pandemic. When he suffered a concussion in Cameron during the AFCON tournament, he came to know of a child recovering from life-threatening injuries. The Al Nassr star immediately made sure to cover the whole bill of approximately CFA 400,000 that the family of the child could not have afforded.

Whereas, the students also received a laptop and a cash donation. During the 2019 Champions League final, he gifted 300 shirts to the people in his village. For all his work for the African community, the player also received the first-ever Socrates Award in the 2022 Ballon d’Or ceremony.

One thing is clear, Sadio Mane is setting an example for the other soccer players to help out their communities in times of need. He is also one of the perfect role models in the world of soccer. Any thoughts? Let us know in the comments below.
