Qatar celebrated the National Sports Day for
the first time in February 2012, after the issuance of Amiral Decree No. 80 in
2011 that the Tuesday of the second week of February of each year will be a
sports day for the state and a paid vacation, during which ministries, public
institutions, and other government agencies and bodies would organize sporting
events for employees and their families to participate in.
The sports day aims to raise awareness on
the importance of sport and its role in improving the lives of individuals and
societies.
