Theme 2021: Only Together can we play or cheer again.
Between Wednesday, 31 March, through to, and on Tuesday, 6 April, we ask you share on your social media platforms a picture or video showing the value of sport in your life and highlight the importance of ensuring we are all protected from COVID-19 so we can return to moments like this in the future.
Sport can cross boundaries and defy stereotypes and inspire hope across nations, but we will only be able to get back to this, if we recover better and help end the pandemic by helping ensure everyone is protected from COVID-19.
Ahead of International #SportDay, join our call for solidarity to make sure everyone is protected against #COVID19 so we can get back to the things we love - like sport.
To raise awareness of sport, 6 April was declared as the International Day of Sport for Development and Peace (IDSDP) by the United Nations General Assembly. The adoption of this Day signifies the increasing recognition by the UN of the positive influence that sport can have on the advancement of human rights, and social and economic development.
