The International Day of Sport for Development and Peace, is celebrated annually on April 6, proclaimed by a resolution of the United Nations Organization (UN) last August 23, 2013, to be celebrated from next year.

According to the UN resolution, this day is to raise awareness and recognize the positive role of sport and physical activity in communities and in the lives of people around the world, as well as the promotion of human rights and economic and social development.

The theme for 2024 is “Sport as a tool to promote peaceful and inclusive societies”.
