April 06

Established by the United Nations in 2013, the International Day of Sport for Development and Peace is celebrated every April 6. It recognizes the power of sport to drive social change, foster tolerance, and build peaceful communities. Governments, NGOs, and communities worldwide organize events ranging from grassroots tournaments to educational workshops. The day underscores the importance of physical activity in achieving sustainable development goals and advocates for reconciliation in conflict-affected regions. Ambassadors, athletes, and youth leaders come together to highlight the transformative impact of sport on global well-being.
