]]> The International Day of Sport for Development and Peace (IDSDP), which takes place annually on 6 April, presents an opportunity to recognize the positive role sport and physical activity play in communities and in people’s lives across the globe.

Sport has the power to change the world; it is a fundamental right and a powerful tool to strengthen social ties and promote sustainable development and peace, as well as solidarity and respect for all.

The global theme for the International Day of Sport for Development and Peace 2023 is “Scoring for People and the Planet”. As in previous years, this overarching theme allows for IDSDP activities to broadly focus around the impact and influence of sport on sustainable development and peace.

From empowering women and girls, young people, persons with disabilities, and other marginalized groups to advancing health, sustainability, and education objectives, sport offers tremendous potential for advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and for promoting peace and human rights. The United Nations has long recognized the power and universality of sport, using it to unite individuals and groups through supporting sport for development efforts, participating in events from the global to the grassroots level, and developing its own sports-related campaigns and initiatives.

]]> The International Day of Sport for Development and Peace (IDSDP) is observed on April 6 and highlights the importance of sport in keeping the fabric of society intact. The day that takes place annually recognises the positive impact that sports activities have on the peace and harmony of various communities co-existing on this globe.

Sport is not only an activity but in myriad cases has also worked as a medium of communication between various communities, be it on a local scale or a global platform. And hence, sport is considered to be honed with abilities to shape the world and make it a better place by forming strong social ties and promoting peace and sustainable development.

This year, the theme for the International Day of Sport for Development and Peace is ‘Securing a Sustainable and Peaceful Future for All: The Contribution of Sport.’

The International Day of Sport for Development and Peace saw its beginning in 2013 when the United States General Assembly declared April 6, the day the first-ever Modern Olympics took place in 1896 in Athens, as the day of observance to highlight the importance of sport. Following suit, the day has been annually observed on April 6 since 2014.
