?Member of the Bahrain Olympic Committee and the Organizing Committee of the 2019 Bahrain Sports Day Rashid Al Zayani stressed the main goal of bringing the sports day every year is to develop a culture of sport to be a way of life, and to acknowledge citizens and residents alike on its influence on public health.
“The sports day should not be limited to sport exercising in a single day of the year, but rather a sustainability of such an activity, which requires all ministries, government authorities and the private sector to allocate at least one day for their employees to carry out sports activities,” said Al Zayani in a statement.
He noted that enhancing the capacity of employees and increasing their productivity at work as well as enhancing the brotherly and social ties among themselves is one of the main objectives of this event, adding that the sports day should be a starting point for the sustainability of sporting events throughout the year.
Al Zayani stressed that having the third edition of the Sports Day reflects the extent of awareness of the Bahraini society, which has been interactive and supportive of such activities organized in the country.
In this regard, he referred to the tremendous success of the first and second edition of the event, which reflected the great passion for sport in a unique sporting event of its kind and drew significant attention from representatives of the Bahrain communities.
“Sport is a cornerstone that embodies social development concept, one of the pillars of the people progression, and its sustainability. In conclusion, I can not fail to note the role of all individuals, institutions and participating parties involved in the Sports Day festivities, which reflects the harmony among different cultures living in this nation,” added Al Zayani.
