🤞🏿 Sadio Mane knows how to keep a promise. #playbookafrica ⚽️In 2022, Mane was spotted playing on a rough and muddy field in his village of Bambali in Southern Senegal. Photos from that match went viral, and the Senegalese football star promised to build a stadium for the residents. 1.5 years later, Mane inaugurated his mini-stadium, Stade de Bambali Stadium. The endeavor was built with Mane’s funds, and the venue will host several football matches in the region. ↓ The problem of inadequate sports infrastructure continues to be challenging across the African continent; however, this trend of athletes bridging the gap is something we will surely see for years to come. Bonus: Mane has already built a school and a hospital in the same village to improve the lives of citizens. “This is not just a gift from me to my beloved village. Above all, it is the symbol of our unity, our strength and our passion for football.” - Mane 🏆Under Mane's leadership, the Fédération Sénégalaise de Football (FSF) and its national team are gearing up to defend their title in this upcoming #AFCON.

RISING ABOVE: LESSONS FROM THE SUPER EAGLES OF NIGERIA'S TRIUMPH Unless you've felt the desperation of a Nigerian striving for victory, my current elation remains incomprehensible. This win underscores the adage, "the best retort to your opponent is victory," a truth we've just exemplified. The Super Eagles need no further validation; securing a spot in the AFCON 2023 final speaks volumes. Dis year, we no gree for anybody. "Awa lo kan" echoes our resolve; it's our time to shine brightly. The sheer joy overwhelming me is unprecedented. Today, I stand as a proud Nigerian, part of the victorious team. Understanding this euphoria requires being Nigerian, just like me and my comrades. South Africa's Bafana Bafana may have underestimated us, but as Nigerians, we remained focused and determined. Our triumph is not just for us; it's a celebration deserving of over 200 million people. For me, this victory is the ultimate. Is there a takeaway from the Super Eagles' match against South Africa's Bafana Bafana? Absolutely. It's not about how hard you work; it's about continuous improvement, akin to the Super Eagles' journey. Even when you've been written off, stay focused, let your actions speak louder than words. Embrace criticism as a catalyst for growth. Let it fuel your ascent to success. Resilience, exemplified by the Super Eagles, always pays off. Do you have a plan, and a backup plan if needed? No one expected the Super Eagles to reach this stage, considering the challenges they faced with injuries. Perhaps you're in a similar position, overlooked and underestimated. But with determination, resilience, and a step-by-step approach, you too can rise to the top, like the Super Eagles of Nigeria. I am Udeh Goodluck, a player in the game of life, inspired by the resilience of the Super Eagles of Nigeria. Peace! #RisingAbove #SuperEagles #Resilience #Victory #NigeriaRising #resilience #projectengineer #mepengineering #Mr_MrsMaro #UnderstandingDestiny #brainboxlearningconsult #BafanaBafana #southafrica #NoGreeForAnybody
