ISLAMABAD: International world sports Day would be celebrated on April 6 across the globe.

The United Nations’ (UN) International Day of Sport for Development and Peace, recognizes the power of sport in promoting peace and erasing cultural barriers worldwide.

Sport is a positive way of achieving goodwill, healthy competition and cooperation across all cultures.

The International Day of Sport for Development and Peace promotes healthy lifestyles and emphasizes the International Olympic Committee’s (IOC) focus on giving as many people as possible access to sport.

It is day when some of the world’s leading sportspeople work together with communities to bring sporting opportunities to enrich lives, particularly children.

International Day of Sport for Development and Peace is a global observance and not a public holiday.
