Nigeria midfielder Fisayo Dele-Bashiru has married his Moroccan partner, Nada Bensouna, in a private nikkah ceremony held in Manchester, United Kingdom. The event, attended by close family and friends, featured Nada in a beautiful Moroccan caftan while Dele-Bashiru wore traditional attire.
The couple first made their relationship public during Lazio’s Christmas party in December last year. Dele-Bashiru, aged 24 and the younger brother of Flying Eagles star Tom, scored three goals in 20 league appearances for Serie A club Lazio last season and is expected to play a prominent role in the new campaign under incoming manager Maurizio Sarri.

We celebrate Fisayo Dele-Bashiru’s union as a moment of both personal joy and cultural harmony. In choosing a private Islamic nikkah, the couple demonstrated a deep respect for tradition and a desire for intimacy—values that resonate deeply in an age of constant exposure.
We see in this marriage more than just a union of two souls. It bridges cultures Nigeria and Morocco in a way that is both gentle and profound. Nada’s Moroccan caftan symbolised heritage, while Fisayo’s native attire echoed his roots. Together, they presented a beautiful tableau of love that spans borders.
We imagine the esteem this brings to their community: a Nigerian footballer marrying a Moroccan partner in Manchester is a compelling testament to global connectivity and shared humanity. It also sets a thoughtful example rooted in faith, family, and mutual respect for others in the public eye.
We believe that such moments enrich not only the individuals involved, but also the larger narrative of African unity and diversity. Their discreet celebration reminds us that love need not be flamboyant to be meaningful.
We return to our starting sentiment this is more than a marriage it is a quiet affirmation of love, tradition, and shared cultural beauty.
