November 9 2010, Sharjah, UAE: United Arab Bank (UAB) today reopened its Sheikh Zayed Road Branch with a startling actual ball 'kick-off' by the legendary football champion Fabio Cannavaro. The crowd watched in astonishment as the Captain of the 2006 World Cup Winning Team and now Captain of Al Ahli Football Club in Dubai kicked a goal through the doors of the new Sheikh Zayed Road branch of United Arab Bank, one of the UAE's oldest and most conservative banks.
Paul Trowbridge, UAB's Chief Executive Officer, commented: "Over the last 12 months, UAB has won a series of awards marking its continued rise to success, to be the banker of choice among its selected customer segments." He continued: "Fabio's presence with us today is an emblem of our shared unwavering commitment to excellence, our common pledge for success, and our joint vision and passion to win. To all of us, sport is about partnership, teamwork, and discipline, and so is banking."
