The 47-year-old California-born entrepreneur chairs a family-owned group of businesses based in Saudi Arabia. A horse enthusiast, Zedan is an international polo player who jumped into ownership in 2016. Fifteen months ago we met in the Dubai airport and this was the plan, and here we are, Zedan said immediately after the race. To Bob it s not a job; it s art. He s a Picasso or a Michaelango.
DUBAI: Amr Zedan’s love affair with all things equestrian has many, eclectic fathers.
“When I was young, I always loved sports in general, and I always loved horses as well,” he said. “I was exposed to various sports, and polo was one of the sports I gravitated toward because it combined the ball and the horse. I watched a few movies that featured polo. ‘Pretty Woman’ was one of those movies, and I was captivated by it when I was a kid. I picked up the sport in the late 90s and early 2000s in Dubai and London, and the rest was history.”
