Step‑by‑step process
From shipping your pigeons to winning the Nissan Patrol
1. Registration & Application
Participants complete the online registration form and provide full contact and bank details for prize payouts. Each team consists of 5 pigeons, with an entry fee of AED 800 per pigeon.
2. Delivery to the Loft
Pigeons are delivered to the Emirates Pro loft during the official delivery period (May 1 – July 1, 2026). All pigeons must arrive vaccinated, in good health, and carrying a 2026 ring.
3. Loft Care & Training
From arrival onwards, loft management handles feeding, medication, and training. Pigeons undergo road training and shorter tosses before the official hotspot race series starts.
4. Hotspot Races
The race series includes 150 km (points only), 250 km, Semifinal 350 km, and the 450 km Final Race. Prize money is paid after each prize race as per the official prize list.
5. Final Race & Ace Pigeon
The 450 km Final Race crowns the overall winner, who receives a Nissan Patrol car + Championship Trophy. At the same time, Ace Pigeon standings are calculated using total points and speed averages.
6. Auction & Prize Settlement
After the season, pigeons may be auctioned. Proceeds are split 50% to the participant and 50% to the loft (after expenses). Prize money is sent to the registered bank account of each winner.
