The 31-year-old Paul Pogba has been sidelined since September 2023 due to a doping ban, which was reduced on appeal from four years to 18 months. While he cannot participate in competitive matches until March 2025, he had signed up for the King’s Cup exhibition match in Dubai on November 30, where he was set to play alongside football legends. However, the event was postponed to February 2025 due to “unforeseen circumstances,” leaving fans upset.
The official King’s Cup Dubai Instagram account announced: “Dear Football Fans, we regret to inform you that the King’s Cup Dubai has been rescheduled to February 2025 due to unforeseen circumstances. For refunds, please visit the Platinumlist website and follow the instructions for your ticket. Specific dates for the rescheduled event will be announced soon. Thank you for your understanding and support.”
In the comments, fans expressed their frustration, with one user, jaankiamirapadania, commenting: “Dude, I’ve literally been counting the days to see Pogba???? WHY?” Another, dushyantnagpal, said: “This is heartbreaking. I booked VVIP for my son, and he has been counting the days. Bro, I literally booked the tickets and was so happy.” Diana_bernal90 added: “That is not FAIR AT ALL😢 my son will be so sad; he was dreaming and counting the days to meet Roberto Carlos… and I can’t find any refund link on the website. Please inform.”
Pogba’s future remains uncertain after his contract with Juventus was terminated this month. The former Manchester United player is expected to resume training in January, but it is unclear which club, if any, will sign him in 2025. As a free agent, Pogba is now free to join any team at any time, though it may just come down to waiting and seeing for the 2018 World Cup winner.
