Doha, Qatar: Her Highness Sheikha Moza bint Nasser, Chairperson of Qatar Foundation, attended National Sport Day 2026 activities at Qatar Foundation’s Education City, where thousands of community members gathered to take part in a nationwide celebration centered around health, inclusion, and wellbeing.

Education City Stadium was at the core of National Sport Day activities at Education City, which were attended by Her Excellency Sheikha Hind bint Hamad Al Thani, Vice Chairperson of Qatar Foundation. Sponsored by Volkswagen Middle East, the Strategic Partner of Qatar Foundation’s (QF) National Sport Day events and the Official Mobility Partner for the fifth edition and final match of the Women and Girls Football Initiative, the stadium provided an open and welcoming space where women and girls of all ages and athletic abilities came together to embrace sport.

Participants brought passion and determination to the finals of the fifth edition of the Women and Girls Football Initiative, with Her Excellency Sheikha Hind bint Hamad Al Thani presenting awards to the winning teams of the initiative, which was held alongside the fourth Women’s Fitness Challenge.

And the Education City Run: Color Edition saw 1,200 female participants and 600 male participants enjoy a vibrant celebration of sport, movement, and community, with different race distances designed for everyone accompanied by colorful bursts of powder. A portion of the proceeds from this activity was donated to Education Above All, the Education City Run: Color Edition’s Social Impact Partner.

Among those participating in the ladies-only activities at Education City Stadium was Salama Ali, from Qatar, who said: “I come here every year because it’s for ladies only. I love sports – today I did a run and will try some of the challenges. I will come back again – I really like the stadium.”
