The Aspin Stallions, owned by Ahmad Khoori, Member of the UAE Federal National Council and former Senior Vice President of Emirates Airlines, represent a pioneering step in Emirati participation in global franchise sports. Under AMH Sports, the franchise aims to set new standards in sporting excellence, community engagement, and youth development across the UAE.

Speaking on the occasion, Khoori said, "Under the wise leadership of our President, His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan and the Vice President, Prime Minister and the Rule of Dubai His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the UAE continues to inspire progress, inclusivity, and excellence in every field -- and sports is no exception."
