As part of the 43^rd National Day celebration, Standard Chartered will attempt to break a new world record by making the world’s largest mosaic of the UAE flag from 6,000 footballs. The event will take place on Thursday, November 27, 2014 at the Standard Chartered Towers, Emaar Square in Downtown Dubai and will be managed and attended by the Bank’s employees including senior officials. Representatives from the Guinness Book of World Records will also be present to certify the attempt.

Should the attempt be successful, Standard Chartered will be the first bank in the UAE to break such a record.

The day will also see several colourful and engaging activities to mark the UAE National Day. Earlier this month, the Bank launched a viral campaign on its social media channels #UAEPride to urge UAE Nationals and residents to celebrate the UAE Day with the Bank and be part of the record-breaking attempt.
