Doha: The National Sports Day Committee (NSDC) has announced that participation in the National Sports Day 2025 Award is underway until February, in conjunction with NSD events nationwide.
According to Qatar News Agency, invitations have been sent to all public and private sector entities and authorities to proceed with participation and intensify efforts to encourage their functionaries to persistently engage in sporting activities. The initiative aims to promote a culture of physical activity within the community, as stated by the NSDC.
The statement highlighted that entities wishing to participate should register their event data on the website of the Ministry of Sports and Youth. Submissions will be evaluated no later than seven days before the beginning of the month following the activity.
The NSDC emphasized that outstanding participation from both public and private entities will be honored ahead of the NSD launch next February. This recognition is for efforts made in organizing sporting events throughout the year, aligning with NSD’s vision of making sport an enduring lifestyle.
The award is designed to foster positive competition among institutions, encouraging them to create a wholesome and active work environment that enhances public health and strengthens the sporting spirit within the Qatari community.
Organizing sporting events that align with the award-approved standards is essential, supporting the objectives of creating a safe and motivating sports environment that promotes the practice of sports in the workplace, the committee noted.
It was further mentioned that over 100 public and private sector entities have announced their participation by organizing various sports and recreational activities. This reflects the magnitude of engagement and confirms the concerted efforts to propagate a culture of sport in society.
Additionally, NSDC urged relevant entities to take advantage of the moderate weather from September until February to host exceptional sporting events. They encourage engagement in over 750 activities, whether indoors or in air-conditioned public parks, to ensure continuity of sports engagement in safe and suitable settings while reinforcing community participation.
The award ceremony will honor winning entities from state institutions, the private sector, and commercial companies during the State Sports Day Award Ceremony in February, coinciding with the State Sports Day activities.
