“The Dubai Polo Season is a
step in the right direction” By Gonzalo Etcheverry
When he started playing polo, sporadically in 2002 and mostly because of his love of horses and sport, he never imagined that Zedan Polo was going to be one of the most important polo organizations in the UAE. These days, Amr Zedan is a constant and passionate polo player and his team, Zedan Polo, is one of the important teams that takes part in the UAE polo season. Amr Zedan received PQ in his stables at Desert Palm to talk about his beginnings, his love for the sport and his future plans with Zedan Polo. “I started playing polo in 2002, it was just sporadic polo. At that time I had to focus on work and polo was not my principal objective but I started knowing more about the sport and trying to find what I wanted to do with polo. Polo is a luxury you do after you settle down with work and luckily we´ve been doing really well and we´ll be playing polo here and there. 62 | PQ
Between 2005 and 2009 I just played exhibitions in England but from 2009 when I met Rodolfo (Ducos) we decided to do something together because I really wanted to go further with the polo”.
I just want to keep playing and try to do better as far as I can. I would like to go up to 2 goals but I know I have to work hard. Amr chose polo, among other sports, because of his love of horses and the relationship of the sport with business. “I always wanted to do something with horses. I tried several things but polo was the sport that I like the most, although my soccer is much better than my polo!.
