International Day of Sport for Development & Peace

On the International Day of Sport for Development and Peace, Olympians, international leaders and young people remind us how sport is an invaluable tool for individual and social change, community development and wellbeing in countries across the world.

Since 2014, following a decision by the United Nations (UN) General Assembly, the IDSDP has been celebrated each year on 6 April.

The IDSDP offers a new opportunity to promote sport and physical activity as a cost-effective and meaningful tool that can address a wide range of needs related to: education, health, social inclusion, youth development, gender equality, peace building and sustainable development. It also provides a notable platform to advocate among governments for more investment in sport, related infrastructure and quality physical education for youth.
