Paul Pogba has partnered with the world’s first professional camel racing team.
The Monaco midfielder has joined Saudi Arabian team Al Haboob as an ambassador and shareholder.
Al Haboob, who compete in races across the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC, which comprises Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates), are trying to establish the world’s first professional camel racing league.
Camel racing is a centuries-old sport across the Arabian Peninsula. It is a lucrative industry, and elite, champion racing camels can sell for more than $5million.
Several parties alongside Pogba have made a significant investment in the team.
