In a one loft race, pigeons from many fanciers are housed together in a single loft and receive identical care and training. They are released together from the same locations, ensuring equal conditions and highlighting true performance and genetics.
The race is held in the United Arab Emirates. The loft is professionally managed by experienced fanciers with international consultant veterinarians.
Pigeons must arrive at the loft between May 1, 2026 and July 1, 2026. All pigeons must carry a 2026 ring and must be vaccinated before shipment.
Each team consists of 5 pigeons. The entry fee is AED 800 per pigeon (≈ €200 / USD 236).
Payment for 1 pigeon per team is required upon delivery. Remaining fees must be paid after the first inventory and before training starts. All payments are made via the Zajel Al Khaleej website.
Prize money is transferred after each race to the bank details provided on the participant registration form. Car winners may choose a cash equivalent; shipping cost of the car (if required) is borne by the winner.
Races are: 150 km (training, points only), 250 km on December 27, 2026, Semifinal 350 km on January 3, 2027, and the Final Race at 450 km on January 17, 2027.
