Sport in Qatar

The State of Qatar places great importance on sports, which is reflected in its Third National Development Strategy 2024-2030 and Qatar National Vision 2030.

Qatar has solidified its commitment to sports by designating a National Sports Day, which is marked and observed annually as an official holiday on the second Tuesday of February.

Since its inaugural celebration in 2012, the Qatar National Sports Day has aimed to encourage participation in sporting activities, with hundreds of sports-related events taking place across the country.

lebrating Sports Day every year reflects sport’s status in Qatari society. Regular exercise has transcended being a mere activity to becoming a strategic choice for the State of Qatar.
