Doha, Qatar: The Ministry of Justice and the General Secretariat of the Council of Ministers celebrated the National Sport Day by holding joint events on the campus of the University of Doha for Science and Technology (UDST), with broad participation from the staff of the ministry and UDST and their families.

The joint event included twelve sports activities, including walking and warm-up exercises, soccer, basketball, volleyball, table tennis, tug of war, foot bowling (kickball), trampolining, and target shooting.

The activities also included sports events for children aimed at helping them internalise a culture of sport and interest in physical activity from an early age, and reinforcing awareness of the significance of practicing sport as a healthy lifestyle for all age groups, including jump rope, sack races, and face painting.

Health awareness and educational activities were organised concurrently, including an on-site health fair where health guidance was provided and biometric screenings were offered to participants, aiming to enhance health awareness among staff and their families and guide them toward healthy lifestyles that promote community safety awareness and improve quality of life.

Overall, the UDST activities were marked by their diversity and engagement of participants across different age groups, with a strong emphasis on encouraging employees to adopt physical activity as a sustainable healthy lifestyle.
