Paul Pogba has stepped into a new business venture by deciding to invest in a Saudi Arabian camel racing team.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The French World Cup winner has recently returned to football for the first time since September 2023 following a doping ban.<\/p>\n

His initial four-year ban<\/a> was reduced to 19 months on appeal, but an ankle injury delayed his scheduled comeback for Monaco on November 8.<\/p>\n

Pogba eventually returned to the pitch to a huge reception in the 4-1 defeat to Stade Rennais 14 days later.<\/p>\n

Paul Pogba invests in a camel racing team<\/h2>\n

Reported by the BBC, Pogba has invested in the Saudi team Al Haboob after watching his “fair share” of camel racing videos on Youtube during his free time.<\/p>\n

Camel racing has evolved into a multi-million-dollar business in the Middle East, where investments in racing camels can produce profitable returns.<\/p>\n

In 2023, a prize pool of $21million was on offer for the inaugural Camel Cup race held in AlUla, Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n

Pogba said: “I’ve watched my fair share of [camel] races on YouTube and spent time doing research in my spare time trying to understand the techniques and strategies.<\/p>\n

“And what stood out to me is how much dedication it takes from everyone involved. At the end of the day, sport is sport. It demands heart, sacrifice and teamwork.”<\/p>\n

Pogba broke the world record when he became the most expensive player by moving from Juventus to Manchester United in 2016.<\/p>\n

Now he has ambitions of owning the most expensive camel. He added: “Being the world’s most expensive footballer was an honour, but it also came with a lot of hard work, pressure and responsibility.<\/p>\n

“Owning the world’s most expensive camel one day would be a beautiful full-circle moment – something fun, something meaningful and something that excites me. Maybe one day we make it happen.”<\/p>\n

Pogba’s other investments<\/h2>\n

While investing in a camel racing team might be his most brazen yet, Pogba has diversified his wealth during his playing career.<\/p>\n

He reportedly owns properties in Manchester, Paris, Turin and Miami and became an ambassador and investor in an Islamic finance start-up, Wahed in 2022.<\/p>\n

Pogba has stepped into the fashion world with collaborations with major brands such as adidas.<\/p>\n

He also recently launched a new jewellery range called ‘Unbreakable’. Pogba promoted a series of chains and rings on his Instagram alongside the slogan ‘Forged by Strength, United by Love.’<\/p>\n

Prices for a necklace can range from \u00a3309 to \u00a3209,509.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
