We got another sneak peek of Etihad Rail and it looks so cool
Another day, another dreamy sneak peek of Etihad Rail – and this time, it stars some of the UAE Pro League's finest.
The latest clip, released during the buzz of the ADIB Cup Final, shows players swapping the pitch for polished carriages as they kick back, enjoy the ride, and casually show off their footwork in first class.
From sleek interiors to smooth gliding views of the UAE's desert landscapes, the video gives us another tantalising glimpse of what life will look like once the passenger service is officially up and running.
Think modern lighting, luxe seating, and wide windows – with just the right amount of swagger.
Every champion's journey is shaped by passion, defined by discipline, and fuelled by purpose.

Etihad Rail, a partner of the UAE Pro League, dropped the video as part of its celebration of discipline, purpose, and staying 'on the right track' – a nod to both the game and the train line that's quickly becoming the most anticipated travel project in the country.
While the service isn't open to the public just yet, it's well on track (pun intended). Once fully operational, Etihad Rail will connect 11 cities across the UAE – from Abu Dhabi to Dubai in as little as 30 minutes, and all the way out to Fujairah in just under two hours.
And with confirmed amenities like infotainment systems, food and beverage options, and plush seating across first, business and economy classes, this isn't just a train – it's a full-on travel upgrade.
So if you've been picturing your future commute with a bit more class and a lot less traffic, Etihad Rail might just be your next MVP.
