DOHA: More than 20 public and private organisations have already registered for upcoming National Sports Day celebrations across the country.
With the event getting closer, more and more companies are finalising their programmes aimed at making their staff, their families and the public healthier, more active and happier through the practice of sport.
Qatar Airways will be organising a range of events, including tennis, running, volleyball and football for staff, their families and kids at the Al Jazeera Academy.
The Ahmed Hassan Bilal Group will take to the crease with a cricket programme at the West Bay Cricket Ground, pitching its departments against each other in search of the winner.
A programme will be held on Al Refaa Street, which will see the ministries of Justice, Municipalities, Energy & Industry, Interior and Foreign Affairs and other ministries and the Public Works Authority “Ashghal”, organise events to attract huge crowds.
The street will also host activities of the Supreme Council of Health, while the Family Consulting Center will host sport games in Al Refaa and a second set of activities on the Doha Corniche, a venue that will also see also Supreme Council of Information and Communication in action.
A central part of the National Sports Day is to inspire the younger generation to take up a healthy lifestyle, and the Higher Supreme Education Council will aim for it with a programme targeting schools, at the Aspire Zone.
The invitation for more organisations to join the National Sports Day activities is still open.
Interested public entities and private companies are still on time to register their activities for the day on February 12 by visiting the NSD website on www.sportday.qa.
Registrations are also open for Al Refaa Street spaces, where companies can be allocated a booth to stage their activities, and for any other venue where companies may want to organise their programmes.
