Devout Worshipper – Kanoute Builds a Mosque in Spain!
Malian striker Frederic Kanoute has splashed out more than US$700,000 to buy his own mosque in Spain.
The mosque is located in the Spanish city of Seville, where Kaounte plays his club football for Sevilla.
The privately owned mosque was due to be sold after a contract to use the premises by the local Muslim population had expired.
But Kanoute, one of the finalists for the 2007 BBC African Footballer of the Year award, stepped in to purchase the building.
It is estimated that Kanoute has spent almost a year’s salary to buy the mosque, now thats what I call devout!
