Paul Pogba has found a new playground: the tracks… of camel racing. Yes, you read that right. The French international and 2018 World Cup champion is swapping European pitches for Saudi humps as he becomes a shareholder and ambassador of the Al-Haboob stable, the first professional team dedicated to sprinting dromedaries.
On Wednesday morning, Pogba dropped the news on his social channels: the midfielder is diving into the Al-Haboob adventure, a project aiming to create the first international camel racing league. We’re far from champagne football, but the ambition is clear—bringing the dromedary into the big leagues.

In the statement, Pogba says he is “extremely enthusiastic” about joining the stable. He explains that this choice goes “beyond sport,” referencing culture, heritage, and storytelling. In short, Pogba wants to play a role in a project that unites people, celebrates traditions, and lets highly motivated camels run faster than your Wi-Fi during a storm.
Paul Pogba, king of the hump sprint. World champion… and now the official godfather of hump sprinting. Football didn’t see it coming, and neither did the camels.
