Recently, during the FIFA days of March 2024, the young promising midfielder of the Cheetahs of Benin was struck by a great misfortune. He lost his elder sister.
The tragic news was kept secret by the player’s family until after the match between Ivory Coast and Benin (2-2). Facing adversity and the weight of his personal sorrow, Mariano Ahouangbo did not falter; he donned the national jersey for his international debut with remarkable determination.
He maintained his commitment to the national team, showing impressive strength of character and unshakeable team spirit, even in the darkest moments. His choice to stand on the pitch representing his country is a poignant reflection of his perseverance and seriousness as a high-level athlete.
