"Our wise leadership has led us to a distinguished stage of gradual recovery and back to a normal life through adopting precautionary and preventive measures, and providing free vaccines to all members of society, which has a direct impact on the resumption of all activities that accelerate the development process and raise productivity levels in all sectors, which encouraged all international sports organisations and institutions to organise the largest sports tournaments in Abu Dhabi, in particular, and the UAE, in general," said Sheikh Nahyan.
''Such international confidence and the prestigious stature of the UAE has resulted in Abu Dhabi's hosting of a large number of global events within a few months, such as the Indian Super League; UFC Fight Island Triple Header Week 2021 in Abu Dhabi; the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix; UAE Tour, as well as other global sports tournaments,’' he noted.
