MADRID: Mali international footballer Frederic Kanoute has saved a mosque from closure in Seville, the ABC newspaper reported on Thursday.
Kanoute paid 510,860 euros so that fellow Muslims in Seville would not find themselves without a mosque.
Kanoute, who plays for Sevilla in the Primera Liga since moving from French champions Lyon in 2005, has also created a foundation in Mali to help children, particularly orphans. – AFP
