In 2013, the United Nations General Assembly proclaimed 6 April the International Day of Sport for Development and Peace.

This 6 April is an opportunity to remember that sport is a tremendous driver of social cohesion, education, empowerment… and so much more!

“Sport is a universal language. At its best it can bring people together, no matter what their origin, background, religious beliefs or economic Status.”
Koffi Annan
