Dominic Ayodele Solanke: Nigerian born player gets married in style

Tottenham Hotspur striker of Nigerian descent Dominic Solanke celebrated a significant personal milestone by marrying his partner in a stunning ceremony near Lake Como, Italy.

The wedding, which has captured the attention of football fans worldwide, follows a triumphant 2024-2025 season with the Spurs.

Born Dominic Ayodele Solanke-Mitchell on September 14, 1997, in Reading, England, to Nigerian parents, his roots are noticeable with his last name.

Despite his Nigerian roots, he represents England internationally, having earned caps at various youth levels and the senior team.

There were reports of Solanke representing Nigeria in the past before he committed to England.

The wedding, highlighted in a post on his social media account, showcased a breathtaking lakeside setting.

Solanke opted for a traditional white wedding, unlike Eberechi Eze, another England player of Nigerian descent who celebrated his heritage with an Igbo-themed wedding in London.

Footballers are increasingly getting married during the off-season, and Solanke’s nuptials align with this trend.

An example is Cyriel Dessers, the Rangers forward, who wed his partner, Rosalie De Ruysscher, in a stunning ceremony in Montalbano, southern Italy.
