Doha, Qatar: The National Sport Day (NSD) Committee has put forth conditions and guidelines that all private and public institutions should adhere to when organising events that mark the state National Sports Day 2025, for their success and ensuring the intended objectives.

In a statement, the committee stressed that all ministries, government apparatuses, public authorities and corporations, along with operating bodies, including the private sector should submit their programmes and plans with respect to these events, by filling out the NSD’s form on the official website www.msy.gov.qa.

The statement outlined the criteria that should be upheld when selecting these events, foremost of which is the exclusive focus on physical activities and steering clear of all flamboyant appearances of festivals. It called for the importance of focusing on awareness-raising activities that advance the practising of sports as a daily healthy routine in the quest for consolidating the idea of sports as a life.

In addition, the committee stressed that it is imperative for such proposed sporting events to consistently fit all age groups by bearing in mind their health conditions, in terms of physical activities, as well as their duration to ensure avoiding stress and traumas.

It noted that it has addressed government ministries and agencies, all public bodies and institutions, alongside state-operated entities, including the private sector on the importance of hewing to the aforementioned conditions to achieve the intended goals set forth in the Amiri decision No. 80 of 2011, on NSD to consistently achieve the noble and sublime ends embodied by these events.
