The midfielder decided to bet on Al-Haboob with the aim of “creating the first professional camel racing league governed at an international level.”
Weighed down by injuries
The former Juventus Turin and Manchester United player, who was one of the leading figures of the Adidas brand, is trying to get out of the sporting ostracism in which he fell just over two years ago, when he was punished with an 18-month ban for a positive test for testosterone.
Pogba, 32 years old and capped 91 times, was without a team for a while after serving his suspension until he signed for Monaco this summer.
At the Principality club, he has been hampered by injuries and only played his first minutes at the end of November, when he returned to the competition after 811 days of absence. So far, he has only made three brief appearances in local league matches with his new club.
