“What the team players exhibited in that tournament made the whole world show genuine respect to the team. Indeed, it is not a secret if I tell you that when I learned that Al Ain Club intended to have me on board, I started searching more about Al Ain Club and the city. It was amazing to read such massive and wonderful information about the history of the “Boss. So, naturally, this motivated me to join this great club.
“This enhances the desire of everyone visiting it to be loyal to such a great city for the amazing balance that combines the originality in its archaeological sites, historical treasures, and modernity that is embodied in its greenery, charm, beauty, and open, modern and smart spaces, such as the Plaza Square located in the vicinity of Hazaa Bin Zayed Stadium. The latter is really a rare architectural masterpiece.”
