In fact, the word "impossible" is not even a part of the dictionary of the UAE - the country that played against Vietnam on June 15 in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers, Group G.
Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE, famously said: "The cannot-be-nothing word does not exist in our dictionary. It is not part of our vision and will never be part of our future.
According to Gulf News, there are countless examples of times the UAE has realized the seemingly impossible - from the mission to Mars, to breaking many world records.
UAE has a Minister of Capacity
In April 2019, the UAE Government launched the Ministry of Feasibilities - the world's first virtual ministry designed to develop proactive solutions to address key issues, while gathering federal and local government groups as well as the private sector.
UAE has a Minister of Happiness
In February 2016, the UAE government appointed the position of Secretary of State for Happiness and appointed Ms. Khalfan Al Roumi as Secretary.
In the cabinet reform in July 2020, the "Quality of Life and Happiness" ministries were transferred to the Ministry of Community Development, but community happiness remains the main goal: the UAE has maintained its position as the happiest Arab country in the world for 6 consecutive years, according to the 2020 World Happiness Report.
UAE is the first Arab country to visit Mars
The Hope rover was launched by the UAE Space Agency as part of the Emirates Mars mission on July 19, 2020 and arrived on Mars on February 9, 2021.
The UAE became the first Arab country and the fifth in the world to visit Mars and the second to successfully enter Mars' orbit in its first test. This is something that 50 years ago seemed unimaginable when the UAE was like a small fishing town.
From arid desert to fertile farming
Although many people may think that they cannot grow anything in the hot desert, there are about 30,000 farms in the UAE, many of which use creative techniques such as aquaponics (combining aquaculture and aquaculture), aquaculture and vertical cultivation, as well as constantly developing new, sustainable technologies to help the crop to flourish.
From no cars to hosting the Formula One tournament
Although we all know that the UAE has developed a lot in a short period of time, in 1968, only 13 cars were registered in Dubai. In 2020, that number increased to 1.83 million. In addition, since 2009, the UAE has organized the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix - a Formula One race.
UAE has the world's first carbon-neutral city
Abu Dhabi may be a paradise for car enthusiasts every year, but the kingdom is also home to Masdar, the world's first city without cars and carbon emissions. The initiative is part of the UAE's commitment to climate change management.
The first Arab country to apply paid maternity leave for fathers
In August 2020, the UAE allowed 5 paid maternity leave, which applies to both father and mother, making it the first Arab country to issue paid maternity leave to private sector fathers.
UAE may make rain
For thousands of years, cultures around the world have tried to control the weather without reliable results, but the UAE has become proficient in "rain-making" technology.
This is a type of weather regulation that aims to change the amount or type of rainfall falling from clouds by scattering substances into the air, changing the micro-physical processes in the cloud.
The tallest building in the world
The UAE has the world's tallest building, Burj Khalifa, with a "huge" height of 828m. Construction began on September 21, 2004, with the exterior of the structure completed on October 1, 2009.
The elegant building officially opened on January 4, 2010, becoming an indispensable part of the Dubai horizon and an unforgettable symbol of Dubai in the minds of tourists since then.
The world's longest gold streak
The longest gold streak is 5,522m in size and was completed by Dubai Gold & Jewellery Group in January 2015. The "Dubai Celebration Chain" gold necklace holds a Guinness World Record for a weight of no less than 240kg and has more than 4 million necklaces. The 22 carats gold line was made by 100 craftsmen in 45 days.
