• In Pictures: Hybrid working is history? Microsoft does not think so

Dubai: In his capacity as Ruler of Dubai, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, has issued a decision to merge Dubai Economy and Dubai Tourism into one entity under the name ‘Dubai’s Department of Economy and Tourism’.

His Highness also issued a decision appointing Helal Al Marri as Director General of the newly formed Department.

The move is part of a plan approved by His Highness that seeks to develop government work in Dubai and enhance its efficiency and resilience in order to keep pace with rapid changes, while ensuring the competitiveness of the business and tourism sectors in Dubai.

“The newly formed Department seeks to support the economic and tourism transformations taking place in the emirate. It will adopt the same competitiveness and efficiency of the private sector and work together with it on various development projects,” said Sheikh Mohammed

“Dubai’s economy has witnessed different phases of development throughout its history, which has helped shape the city’s current status as a model for economic development and a preferred destination for tourism. Today, our ambitions have grown bigger and our priorities have changed. Raising our global competitiveness requires new ways of thinking.” 

Seven targets

The Department is tasked with meeting seven targets to further strengthen Dubai’s leading position in tourism and economy and make it the world’s best city to live in and work, His Highness said. These include increasing the added value of the industrial sector by 150 per cent in the next five years, expanding export markets for local products by 50 per cent and increasing the number of tourists coming to Dubai by 40 per cent to 25 million visitors by 2025.

The newly launched entity is also tasked with making Dubai one of the top five global cities in the main economic indicators, attracting 100,000 companies in three years as well as 400 global economic events annually by 2025. The new entity is also tasked with encouraging private and family-owned businesses to get listed on Dubai bourse.

“Our message to the Department’s team is that Dubai today is different than yesterday. The future of Dubai will depend on your performance, ideas and efforts,” said Sheikh Mohammed.

The Department of Economy and Tourism will also work to promote Dubai’s competitiveness in attracting foreign investments, increase exports, support SMEs, and develop new plans for Dubai’s new economic sectors.

The new structure will support decision makers in developing policies and assessing the strategic performance of the economic sector. The ultimate goal of the restructuring is to achieve the vision of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid to create a government model that is flexible, efficient and rapid in taking decisions. The new structure will also help facilitate and reduce procedures related to the issuance of trade and tourism licenses to further promote Dubai’s competitiveness, and achieve the optimum usage of the human and financial capital.

Inter Miami to play Al Hilal Monday as Saudi Arabia kicks off Messi tourism ad campaign

• Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again later. More content below

Lionel Messi and his globetrotting Inter Miami teammates were greeted with giant bouquets of pink and white roses and music from a saxophonist upon arrival at their hotel in Saudi Arabia Thursday night, but it has been all business ever since as the team prepares for its next preseason game Monday at 1 p.m. against Saudi league leader Al Hilal.

Fans worldwide can watch the game with the Apple TV MLS Season Pass.

Messi is familiar with Saudi Arabia, as he is a paid tourism ambassador for the country and a frequent visitor. The national tourism brand “Saudi Welcome To Arabia” kicked off a global marketing campaign this week featuring the Argentine soccer icon . The “Go Beyond What You Think” campaign aims to reshape perceptions about the region.

The headline on the campaign website says: “Saudi is More Than You Think. Messi has enjoyed discovering many parts of Saudi. Now explore the unexpected for yourself.” The ads feature a video of Messi kicking a ball to break down walls and behind the walls are scenic sites, hot air balloon rides, an auto race, theme park, music festival, and a young woman playing soccer.

Come and see what Lionel Messi discovered in Saudi and experience a world beyond your expectations.​ #ShareYourSaudi ​ #VisitSaudi pic.twitter.com/8pixzg8Khp — Visit Saudi (@VisitSaudi) January 26, 2024

Saudi Arabia has spent big money to attract soccer events, Formula One, and LIV Golf, a practice that has been criticized as “sportswashing.”

Unlike Messi, Inter Miami goalkeeper Drake Callender is a first-time visitor to the region. He experienced his first trans-Atlantic flight and has been impressed with the facilities and the accommodations in Riyadh.

“This is my first time flying across the Atlantic into this side of the world, so everything’s pretty new to me,” he said on a Zoom interview Sunday. “In terms of training, the facilities are great. It’s a quality field, the locker rooms, everything is top notch as well as the hotel we’re staying at. It’s one of the nicest hotels I’ve stayed at ever, between the food and the rooms, they made it a comfortable experience for us so far.”

He said the team is still getting adjusted to the eight-hour time difference but was able to get in two full training sessions and was scheduled for a third before the game Monday. Inter Miami failed to score in its first two preseason friendlies against El Salvador (0-0 tie) and FC Dallas (1-0 loss) and aims to play better during its two games in Saudi Arabia.

Al Hilal is riding a 20-game win streak and has a seven-point lead atop the Saudi league standings despite the season-ending knee injury to Brazilian star Neymar. Players to watch include Aleksandar Mitrovic of Serbia, Malcom of Brazil and Ruben Neves of Portugal.

Al Hilal will be missing a half-dozen other key players for Monday’s game due to national team duty for the Asian Cup and African Cup of Nations.

Among those missing will be Kalidou Koulibaly, the Senegalese center back, Moroccan goalkeeper Yassine Bounou and Saudi national team standouts Salem Al-Dawsari and Saud Abdulhamid.

The team is coached by Jorge Jesus, the 69-year-old from Portugal who has had great success in the Portuguese league and with Brazilian club Flamengo.

“Al Hilal plays a similar style as the Saudi national team,” said Inter Miami coach Tata Martino. “They play with an advanced back line, which we saw from Saudi Arabia in the World Cup. And the teams there have important individuals on their rosters, some of whom will be missing, but they are still strong teams in the top two spots in the Saudi league and will require a great effort from us.”

The integration of new players Luis Suarez, Julian Gressel and Nicolas Freire has been one focus of training, and Callender said he expects tough games against the Saudi opponents.

“As we prepare for this game, there’s some things tactically we’ve ben looking at, as far as their attacking threats, but there’s only so much you can focus on the opponent,” Callender said. “The most important thing for us is making sure we’re confident in what we’re doing as a unit. We’re going to be playing away from home, and we know there’s a lot of good players on their side of the field. So, it will be a challenge.”

Inter Miami midfielder Benjamin Cremaschi , the Key Biscayne teenager who broke into the starting lineup last season, did not make the trip. He had surgery to repair a sports hernia and is expected to be out for two to three months.

Inter Miami’s second game in the Riyadh Season Cup is Thursday against Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr team in a matchup being billed as “The Last Dance” as it could be the final time fans see Ronaldo against his rival Messi. Ronaldo’s availability for the much-hyped match is questionable as he is recovering from a calf injury and has not trained in the past few weeks. Al Nassr canceled a scheduled China tour because of Ronaldo’s injury, but media reports from Saudi Arabia say he is likely to play against Messi.

Al-Hilal shifts focus to the Asian Champions League semifinals as it continues a four-title bid

The likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema haven’t been able to halt Al-Hilal’s dominant run in Saudi Arabia’s domestic soccer league. Now it’s the turn of Al-Ain of the United Arab Emirates to come up against this seemingly unstoppable force in the semifinals of the Asian Champions League.

Al-Hilal is in contention for an unprecedented collection of four titles. The first trophy was secured last week when Malcom scored twice for the club in a 4-1 win over Al-Ittihad in the Saudi Super Cup final . With seven games in the Saudi Pro League remaining, the Blues are 12 points clear of Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr.

On April 30, the Riyadh-based club will meet Al-Ittihad of Jeddah in the semifinals of the King’s Cup, a domestic knockout competition.

Al-Hilal also has its sights set on a record fifth continental title, though is expecting a challenge Tuesday against the Hernan Crespo coached Al-Ain, the 2003 champions who ousted Al-Nassr in the Asian Champions League quarterfinals .

“We have only won one trophy and there are three more to go for,” defender Ali Al-Bulaihi told Saudi Arabian TV ahead of the continental semifinals. “Al-Hilal is a system and everyone at the club from the bottom to the top works hard and this is the reason for success. We are not afraid of any team and we are ready for any challenge.”

Despite being without injured striker Aleksandar Mitrovic, the joint leading scorer in this season’s Asian Champions League, and Brazilian superstar Neymar, Al-Hilal is still in great form. The Super Cup victory over Ittihad extended its world record winning streak for top tier teams to 34 games.

While Al-Hilal is strongly favored to overcome Al-Ain and progress to next month’s final, the meeting in the eastern zone — Asia’s top continental club tournament is divided into two geographic halves until the final — appears closer to call.

The eastern zone playoff is between last season’s champion of South Korea and Japan’s runner-up as Ulsan HD, Asian champions in 2012 and 2022, welcomes Yokohama F. Marinos.

Five-time Japanese champion Yokohama has never reached this stage in Asia before, even under successful coaches Ange Postecoglou and Kevin Muscat.

Harry Kewell is the third successive Australian coach at the club and is hoping to take Yokohama all the way.

“It’s important to understand when I first came into the job it was always going to be a quick turnaround for us because of the AFC Champions League games that were coming up,” Kewell, appointed in December, said. “The attitude of the players has been excellent — the willingness from them to learn a slightly new style.”

“It’s been quite easy to implement my ideas,” added Kewell, who won the UEFA Champions League as a player with Liverpool in 2005. “They’ve accepted it and they’ve worked very hard in perfecting them throughout the games.”

Yokohama will host Ulsan in the return leg of the semifinals on April 24, a day after Al-Hilal takes on Al-Ain in Saudi Arabia.

Record breakers? Arkadag FC and the winning streak still under scrutiny

Turkmenistan’s champions lay claim to a world record but some suspect details lie behind their dazzling winning run

I t’s not often that a football world record goes from Wales to Saudi Arabia only for Turkmenistan to also have a claim. In March, Al-Hilal surpassed the achievement of 27 consecutive top-tier wins set by The New Saints of Wales in 2016. The 18-time Saudi champions have now extended that streak to 34 and look unstoppable at home and abroad.

The same can be said in central Asia where Arkadag FC have won every competitive game in their history. The 2023 league title was lifted in December with 72 points from 24 matches. Throw in seven cup victories and six from six so far this season and it comes to 37 and counting. Yet the world record resides in Riyadh, over a thousand miles to the west.

What gives? “There’s relatively little detail available for the Turkmenistan league, less than we want for the kind of due diligence we carry out in our research for this and similar records,” a spokesperson for Guinness World Records told the Guardian. “This may also be indicative of a level of governance and competition under what we’d ordinarily look for as well. All this being considered, we have confirmed Al-Hilal as the record holder.”

A lack of detail may be down to the fact that Turkmenistan, home to 6.5 million people, is one of the most isolated and secretive countries in the world and, even given the growing importance of the wider region in geopolitical affairs, rarely gets a mention in the western media.

In terms of governance and competition, the way Arkadag were formed may also be an issue. It all started with Gurbanguly Berdymukhamedov, the president of Turkmenistan from 2006 to 2022. Berdymukhamedov revelled in his nickname of “Arkadag”, which means “hero protector”. One of his pet projects before he handed the reins of power to his son, Serdar (nominally, at least, as many observers believe father is still pulling the strings), was the foundation of a new city in the south of the country, a smart city that cost upwards of $5bn. A city that, unsurprisingly, is called Arkadag.

Home to more than 70,000 people it needed a football team so, ahead of the 2023 season, the best players in the country joined the newly formed club. National team stalwarts like Arslanmyrat Amanow and Altymyrat Annadurdyyew were soon wearing the shirts designed by Berdymukhamedov which, unsurprisingly given his obsession with the animal, sported a logo of a horse. The league’s transfer window was extended to facilitate this influx.

The rise of Arkadag FC is almost pleasingly nostalgic for anyone who remember the former army and secret police outfits that dominated eastern bloc leagues in the cold war era. Fans of rival clubs may not agree, however, especially as they suspect favourable officiating – such as in a November clash with Sagadam when, with the score at 2-2 going into the final seconds, the new boys were given a controversial penalty and subsequently won. Indeed that game was a rare close affair, with the champions ending the season with a +66 goal difference. So far this season, that margin is +30 after six games.

There are few public complaints as Turkmenistan is not really the place to criticise projects close to the heart of the former president. Guinness World Records misgivings are unlikely to be well received. Berdymukhamedov is known to be keen to get his new city into the storied book in some manner and club officials believe once the team starts competing in Asian competitions, which is scheduled for the summer, then their case for inclusion will be there in black and white for Guinness to see.

Al-Hilal also have state backing, largely owned as they are by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, which is chaired by the country’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. There are also plenty of fans in the country who believe the Blues get the rub of the green when it comes to refereeing decisions. To be fair to the Riyadh giants, they were the most successful club in Saudi Arabia and Asia in terms of titles – 18 and four respectively – before PIF took charge of them in 2023. This season, however, has been something else – the 34 successive wins has them on course for an unprecedented quadruple.

Last week saw the head coach, Jorge Jesus, and stars such as Rúben Neves and Kalidou Koulibaly (Neymar and Aleksandar Mitrovic are injured) get their hands on trophy No 1 with a 4-1 victory over Al-Ittihad in the Saudi Super Cup final. Riyadh rivals Al-Nassr were beaten in the semi-final, a game that saw Cristiano Ronaldo sent off for elbowing the Al-Hilal defender Ali al-Bulaihi.

Al-Hilal are 12 points clear of second-placed Al-Nassr in the Saudi Pro League with seven games to go. League title 19 is incoming. Then there are two semi-finals in April: the King’s Cup, Saudi Arabia’s domestic knockout competition, against Al-Ittihad, and the Asian Champions League clash against Al-Ain of the United Arab Emirates. Al-Hilal are favourites to win both and a fifth Asian title would put them two clear of the next two most successful clubs: Pohang Steelers of South Korea and Japan’s Urawa Reds.

Asia is also the next stage for Arkadag. Can they translate their domestic dominance into overseas success? The ambition is certainly there and sooner or later they may well find themselves on the same pitch as Al-Hilal in a game that these two teams won’t be able to both definitely win.
