Paul Pogba, whose name and place in the football world are globally recognized, has once again surprised the public with an unexpected project. The AS Monaco midfielder has become a shareholder and official ambassador of "Al-Habuba," the world’s first professional camel racing club, operating in the United Arab Emirates and Gulf countries.
According to Pogba, his interest in camel racing began a few months ago. He reportedly watched numerous races on YouTube and studied the technical and tactical aspects of the sport:
"I didn’t know how much effort, patience, and dedication this sport requires. But when I started watching videos, I realized—this is also a professional sport. You can’t do it without passion, teamwork, discipline, and determination," he said.
In his opinion, the foundation of all sports is the same: striving for a goal, focus, and mental resilience.
"Football, camel racing, or boxing—it doesn’t matter. Championships are defined not by specific techniques but by willpower, faith, and hard work," Pogba added.
Another dream of his is to someday own the most expensive camel in the world:
"This will be an exciting, new, and inspiring experience for me. One day, we’ll achieve this too."
Al-Habuba management sees Pogba’s arrival as a historic step
The club’s founder and entrepreneur, Omar Almena, also emphasized that Pogba’s involvement in the project will act as a significant boost for the promotion of camel racing:
"Paul's joining is a transformative process. His respect for the sport, leadership qualities, and cultural values perfectly align with Al-Habuba's goals. This collaboration isn’t just about sports—it’s about preserving and passing on a legacy that deserves global recognition," he said.
Conclusion
This project could pave the way for a new trend in the sports world. As a UEFA Champions League winner, World Cup champion, and football star, it is expected that Pogba’s serious attention to camel racing will further elevate international interest in the sport.
