International Day of Sport for Development and Peace

International Day of Sport for Development and Peace, observed annually on April 6th, celebrates the power of sport as a catalyst for positive social change and global solidarity. Falling on the same date each year, this day recognises the role of sport in promoting peace, fostering dialogue, and advancing sustainable development goals.

Established by the United Nations, the International Day of Sport for Development and Peace highlights the transformative impact of sport on individuals, communities, and societies worldwide. From promoting gender equality and social inclusion to fostering teamwork and leadership skills, sport has the power to transcend boundaries and unite people in pursuit of common goals.
