Outdoor sports such as football, basketball and horse riding were a big hit while children were entertained with activities like face-painting and pony riding.
The children were thrilled to get a pony ride which was provided by QREC. A horse race was also conducted by the QREC to enable the children to feel the thrill of the contest.
The event was attended by QREC Chairman H E Sheikh Mohammed bin Faleh Al Thani, QREC Board members and senior management.
Sheikh Mohammed and some senior management members also participated in horse riding.
Several QREC employees and members as well as their families were engaged in a thrilling football match.
Specifying a designated day to celebrate sports in the country was a move by the Emir,
H H Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, reflecting vision in caring about the health and wellbeing of the people in Qatar.
The initiative was admired worldwide, as Qatar was the pioneer in adopting a national day for sports. The United Nations has also declared the 6th of April as an international day for sport.
The sports sector is one of the main components of the social development pillar of the National Development Strategy 2011-2016 and Qatar National Vision 2030. Further, it plays an important role in improving the quality of life for all people.
