"Participating at the Paralympics marks a significant achievement for each and every athlete and I am sure this is an occasion that will remain etched in the memories of all participants. UNB feels very fortunate to be a part of this event and to help fulfil the aspirations of the UAE players, which is to bring home honour and pride,"
